Net Zero Targets: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
In March, The Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit and Oxford’s Net Zero Program released a report, entitled “TAKING STOCK: A global assessment of net zero targets.” The report surveyed the climate pledges of 4000 major emitting entities, including nations, state, regional, and local governments, and all companies in the Forbes 2000 list, concluding that 19% of these entities already have net zero pledges in place. However, the study also concludes that the quality of these commitments, including in the case of the use of carbon offsets, is inadequate. This webinar will bring together several of the authors of this report to discuss the systemic problems with most net zero pledges, including in the context of carbon offsets (including those associated with greenhouse gas removal approaches) and their recommendations to expand, clarify and upgrade such pledges.
Panelists include:
Kate Cullen, Net Zero Policy Research at the University of Oxford
Stephen Smith, Professor at University of Oxford
Richard Black, Senior Associate at The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit
This webinar will be moderated by Wil Burns, Co-director at the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy.
