Our first target is to reduce emissions on scopes 1 and 2 by -30% by 2025 compared to our 2015 emissions and -14% on scope 3 emissions compared to our 2018 emissions. We're targeting a second milestone of a -45% reduction in our emissions across all scopes by 2030 compared to 2020.
At COP21 in 2015 in Paris, all UNFCCC Parties adopted the Paris Agreement : the first ever universal, legally binding global climate agreement. They agreed to limit the global temperature increase from the industrial revolution to 2100 to 2°C while pursuing efforts to limit the increase even further to 1.5°C.
What is net zero? Put simply, net zero means cutting carbon emissions to a small amount of residual emissions that can be absorbed and durably stored by nature and other carbon dioxide removal measures, leaving zero in the atmosphere.
To limit global warming to 1.5°C, greenhouse gas emissions must peak before 2025 at the latest and decline 43% by 2030.
The Paris Agreement provides a durable framework guiding the global effort for decades to come. It marks the beginning of a shift towards a net-zero emissions world. Implementation of the Agreement is also essential for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
One orange (average size) is equivalent to 0.05kg CO2e, or 0.3km of driving. One orange (average size) is equivalent to 0.05kg CO2e.
The Paris Agreement's central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Net Zero as the Goal The IPCC concluded the need for net zero CO2 by 2050 to remain consistent with 1.5C. So, the purpose of this site is to inform effective climate action that is net zero aligned in order to advance progress towards this goal.
ISO 14064 is an international standard for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. Part 1 guides development of a GHG inventory that can be compared to other inventories of other organizations regardless of sector or national origin. Part 3 establishes a process for verifying GHG inventory reports.
UNFCCC Nav In ance with Articles 4 and 12 of the Climate Change Convention and the relevant decisions of the Conference of the Parties, countries that are Parties to the Convention submit national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories to the Climate Change secretariat.
