The Changemaker Speaker Series: The Changemaker Speaker Series (2022)

To mitigate investment exposure to climate risk and secure ongoing sustainable returns for their beneficiaries, investors are ensuring the businesses they own cut emissions to help achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner.

What is net zero? Why is net zero important? How can net zero be achieved?

The SBTi's third progress report, 'Scaling Urgent Corporate Climate Action Worldwide', finds the initiative in a period of exponential growth, with SBTi companies representing over a third of global market capitalization.

Companies may be relying far too much on “net” and far too little on “zero.”

Each story announcing a fresh net-zero pledge now sparks outraged warnings on social media that "net-zero is not zero."

While the "big guys" have their consultants and advisers — not to mention Wall Street-caliber budgets — smaller firms are mostly left to their own scrappy devices.
