E-LEARNING COURSE The Net-Zero Standard
UNGC Academy
Drive climate leadership by setting net-zero targets
The number of businesses committing to net-zero emissions is rapidly growing, but not all net-zero targets are created equal. Without adhering to a common definition, net-zero targets can be inconsistent, and their collective impact limited.
Responding to the pressing need for a common understanding of “net zero” in a corporate context, the Net-Zero Standard offers the world's first framework for corporate net-zero target setting in line with climate science.
In this 20-minute, interactive e-learning course delivered by the UN Global Compact Academy and the Science Based Targets initiative, you will:
- Discover how the Net-Zero Standard provides a common, robust, and science-based understanding of net-zero
- Receive guidance on how to set science-based net-zero targets consistent with limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C
- Align your company's near- and long-term targets with climate science
