Taking action to achieve NetZero right now is more important than ever, as we only have a narrow window of opportunity to keep the increase in temperature within 1.5?C. The industry has made a commitment to reach netzero by 2050 at the latest. Now is the time to act and realize a NetZero ambition.

The findings confirmed that without increased climate action, the world could face between 2.5C (4.5F) and 2.9C (5.2F) of warming above preindustrial levels.
Notably, this goal has never been met since initially agreed to in 2009 at COP15. While the agreements and pledges arising from COP26 are laudable, they aren’t enough. C global warming target set by the 2015 ParisAgreement. Instead, these 2030 targets are equivalent to 2.3°C, It’s hard to say.
