G20: Net Zero Stocktake
The Net Zero Tracker's maiden analysis shines a light on G20 entities.
27 OCT 2021
Analysing the quantity, quality and momentum of net zero targets in G20 nations, regions, cities and companies.
Note: When including the net zero target of the European Union as a whole (not just the targets of its individual countries) net zero coverage is slightly higher across the board as of 27 October 2021: 81% for emissions, 82% for GDP and 61% for population.
The 'G20: Net zero stocktake', presented by John Lang, is the Net Zero Tracker consortium's first analysis. It builds on ECIU and Oxford’s Taking Stock report and the Navigating the Nuances of Net Zero report by the NewClimate Institute and Data-Driven EnviroLab, the first systematic analyses of global net zero commitments across countries, sub-national governments and major companies.
We reference the UNFCCC's Race to Zero 'starting line' criteria in this analysis. It can be explored in detail here.
