Google shifts climate communications away from ‘net zero’ wording
Google's carbon footprint is up 51% from its 2019 baseline.
Google is no longer emphasising its goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2030 in its climate communications – calling this ambition a ‘moonshot’ – as AI-driven emissions continue to rise.
Several outlets have reported on the removal of Google’s net zero goal from many parts of its website – the tech giant has since issued a statement saying it “continues to work towards this ambition”, but mentions of net zero are still much harder to find than a few months ago.
