Foundational level
Are we on track for net zero? Since COP21, nations, regions, cities, and companies worldwide have initiated Net Zero Targets to limit global warming to 1.5 degreeC above pre-industrial levels. But are these targets robust enough? Are there enough of them? And how are they assessed? These key questions are answered by experts from the New Zero Tracker. By the end of this pathway, you'll gain a nuanced understanding of the challenges in setting and achieving Net Zero Targets, and their significance in the global climate action agenda.
