Zero
To meet the Paris Climate Agreement and avoid runaway climate change, we must all achieve net-zero carbon by 2050: households, businesses, industries, cities and countries. According to the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, almost one-sixth (16%) of global GDP is already covered by net zero emissions targets set by nations, regions and cities. Some are more ambitious: Norway and Sweden have net-zero emissions laws for 2030 and 2045 respectively. Meanwhile, We Mean Business has over 900 companies with $17.6 trillion in market cap signed up to a zero-carbon economy transition. What is your country, city or company’s net-zero targets?
