PATHWAYS TO NET-ZERO

RESPONDING TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS

Business Ambition for 1.5°C is an urgent call to action from a global coalition of UN agencies, businesses and industry leaders, in partnership with the Race to Zero. From 2019 to 2021, the Business Ambition for 1.5°C Commitment Letter offered two options on how to join, allowing for flexibility and recognizing differences between sectors.

HOW COMPANIES ARE REDUCING EMISSIONS AT SCALE …

As we move into this critical decade, tracking progress on emissions reductions is vital. Recommendations for reporting include disclosure through CDP, annual reports, sustainability reports and companies’ websites. Encouragingly, the vast majority of companies (87%) that have had science-based targets for over a year have publicly reported

FY 2022 EPA Budget in Brief

The FY 2022 Budget includes an additional $60 million to conduct research and deepen our knowledge of the impacts of climate change on human health and the environment. This investment more than doubles EPA’s climate change research while providing additional investments to decrease emissions of methane and hydrofluorocarbons.

carbon budget is practically impossible. Consequently, to limit global warming to 1.5°Celsius above pre-industrial times, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced to net-zero as soon as possible, and then CO 2 must be permanently removed from the atmosphere to bring the total mass of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
