The term ‘net zero’ and the practical application of the frame for individual entities has been subject to fierce debate and contention in the last weeks and months.

The science is clear that we must get our world to a state of net zero emissions as soon as possible (and by 2050 at the absolute latest) in order to limit the worst effects of climate change. Net zero is defined by the IPCC, the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change, as:

“When anthropogenic CO2 emissions are balanced globally by anthropogenic CO2 removals over a specified period.”

Simply put, at a global level we need to balance the amount of emissions we put into the atmosphere with the amount we take out. There has been a significant growth in the number of ‘net zero commitments’ made by companies, cities, regions, investors, and educational institutions — but not all commitments are made equal.

So how do we know that net zero commitments are going to meaningfully contribute towards halving global emissions by 2030 – and which miss the mark?

The UN High Level Champions and Oxford Net Zero have designed a toolkit to help us all understand what a credible net zero commitment looks like, and which commitments lack the substance needed to deliver a zero carbon world in time.

It includes insight into critical topics such as emissions scopes, offsetting, interim targets and immediate action plans.

In all things, actions speak louder than words — and so even institutions with credible climate commitments must be transparent and clearly demonstrate their immediate steps in to reach zero emissions as quickly as possible.

Unlike most races, the race to zero emissions won’t have one winner.

In this race we all win, or we all lose.

Ceres: Major United States. Companies Call For Swift Passage Of Ambitious Federal Climate Policy To Build An Affordable, Competitive Clean Economy

I found a news article on Ceres website that talks about major United States. companies calling for swift passage of ambitious federal climate policy to build an affordable, competitive clean economy.

The article mentions that chief executives and other senior leaders from dozens of influential United States. companies, including General Motors, LafargeHolcim, and Siemens USA, will meet with congressional offices to urge swift passage of a federal reconciliation bill that includes historic climate, clean energy, and environmental justice investments.

The companies are asking Congress to swiftly approve a reconciliation package with $550 billion in fiscally-sound investments in clean power, transportation, industry, and agriculture, as well as environmental justice, at its foundation. Companies and their investors support these measures because they will reduce costs for businesses and consumers, bolster domestic manufacturing of affordable, reliable clean energy technologies to meet growing global demand, strengthen supply chains against delays and disruptions, and deliver much-needed benefits to disadvantaged communities.

Passage of such a package in the coming weeks is critical if the United States. is going to have a chance at meeting its goal to cut emissions in half by 2030 and build a more just and equitable economy before it’s too late.
