Climate Action in Practice
As a business, you have a responsibility to be transparent about your commitments. But with so much climate jargon out there, this can be a real challenge. Here are a few commons terms to help you understand the climate action landscape:
Net Zero
To reach “Net Zero,” a business must reduce
scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to zero or to a
residual level that is aligned with limiting
global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
Climate Positive
A climate positive business goes beyond
net zero by removing additional CO2 from
the atmosphere through projects such as reforestation and carbon storage.
Carbon Offsetting
Companies can account for unavoidable
emissions by purchasing carbon offsets – this strategy should be used after your initial
reduction efforts.
