En ny rapport fra NGO’en Net Zero Tracker konkluderer, at selvom 75 ud af 112 fossile selskaber har forpligtet sig til netto-nul emissioner, så er deres klimamål meningsløse, fordi de ikke adresserer scope 3 udledninger på en fyldestgørende måde.
Rapporten konkluderer også, at 4000 lande, stater, regioner, byer og virksomheder som Net Zero Tracker følger på global plan, har sat netto-nul mål, heraf 929 virksomheder – en stigning på 417 de seneste 11 måneder.
Fra rapporten:
“We find that entities are not, overall, implementing measures of integrity as quickly as might be expected. More than 1,000 set their net zero targets over a year ago, and have therefore had time to prepare robust strategies for reducing emissions. Leaning on the Race to Zero’s latest version of its ‘starting line’ criteria — a minimum threshold that is necessary but by no means sufficient — we found that fewer than 5% of net zero targets set by sub-national governments and companies met this procedural bar.
At the sectoral level, we found that the Biotech, Health Care & Pharma (44%), Infrastructure (46%), and Retail (26%) sectors have particularly high percentages of companies without any emission reduction target at all. Unsurprisingly, the same three were among the worst performing sectors on net zero targetsetting: less than 40% of companies in these sectors have net zero targets, compared with, for example, Power Generation (71%) and Fossil Fuels (67%).”
Rapporten konkluderer også:
- Growth in the number of national and subnational net zero targets has slowed, but company net zero target-setting momentum continues at speed.
- A significant share of subnational and corporate entities still lack any emission reduction target whatsoever, at the global level and within the G7.
- More entities are clarifying their intention to use carbon dioxide removals (CDR) in their value chain.
- Despite having net zero pledges, no major producer countries or companies have committed to phasing out fossil fuels.
