Why We Support It

We support the Race to Zero initiative because it directly aligns with our commitment to limit global warming to 1.5°C by achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The initiative’s emphasis on interim targets, biodiversity protection, and a just transition reflects our values of responsibility and equity. By participating, we contribute to accelerated climate action, promote sustainable practices across our networks, and foster collaboration towards a resilient, low-carbon future.

How We Support It

The "Race to Zero" initiative supports the transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions through a series of pledges and concrete actions. Organizations commit to ambitious emission reduction targets, protecting natural ecosystems, and ensuring that the transition is just and equitable. Participants develop clear transition plans, act promptly on commitments, publish transparent progress reports, and advocate for aligned policies. The initiative emphasizes collective action, stakeholder empowerment, and accountability to drive meaningful climate progress.
