Emission Critical: Financing a Net Zero Commitment
Global Net Zero commitments cover 83 percent of emissions, 91 percent of GDP and 80 percent of the population. But does anyone really believe the world will reach an 83 percent reduction in emissions by 2050?
Many companies have committed to slash greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero levels in recent years without detailed analysis of the timeframes, cost or complexity to achieve sweeping results. Unlike traditional business goals, which are developed with a clear understanding of the possibilities and strategy to achieve the goal, Net Zero goals are often created hastily due to internal and external pressures. They are sometimes developed without a clear pathway to their execution, possibly reliant on potential breakthrough technologies and highly dependent on other companies’ emissions reductions.
While some commitments to Net Zero may have been made in sub-optimal fashion, the benefits of a holistic decarbonization strategy and implementation can far outweigh the costs over time.
