Just 5% of net zero targets are high integrity: report
Most of the world’s net zero targets lack complementary measures to ensure their achievability.
The latest Net Zero Stocktake shows that despite a growing number of companies, states and cities adopting net zero targets, the wide majority of these goals still lack robustness and integrity.
“Although the number of credible net zero targets is growing, 5% or less of entities across companies, states and regions, and cities meet all our minimum procedural and substantive integrity criteria,” warn NewClimate Institute, Oxford Net Zero, Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit and Data-Driven EnviroLab in the 2024 report.
