Key message from the panel: a lot more work needed to get net zero right AND lots of great progress and examples that show getting it right is feasible, desirable, and happening, giving us a guide for concrete action
In side event room 6 in #COP29 blue zone, @thomasnhale opening discussion on seizing the moment to ratchet up ambition to #netzero. Introducing @cathmckenna first up.

Attending #COP29? Join our event co-hosted with #Under2 @ClimateGroup - we'll discuss the implications of the U.S. election for global #climate policy and how #subnational govts — from states like #Washington to cities like #Arizona— can continue to lead on climate. @thomasnhale
SAVE THE DATE: Wednesday November 13, 18:30-20:00 AZT, COP29 LOCATION: Side event 6, Blue Zone, COP29, Azerbaijan Are you interested in the current global landscape on net zero, and how cities and regions can exceed national targets? buff.ly/4fcjZGf

New paper alert! With @thomasnhale and aldrick arceo, we tracked #Netzero pledges by govts and firms from 2015-23. We find a net zero “wave” – huge growth in pledges over time, but of varying robustness. 🧵

Most corporate #netzero targets don’t go nearly far enough, analysis finds. @Google & @VolvoGroup, however, win props for emerging good practices in corporate net-zero target setting, according to @NetZeroTracker. Article by @greentechlady: buff.ly/4dcXCOV

Finally, a big thank you to all the @NetZeroTracker team, including the many volunteers who do the tracking. This is a citizen science project, and it wouldn't be possible without them 🙏

A 23% increase in corporate net-zero targets since 2023! This is further evidence that #netzero has become a business standard even in absence of legal obligations to commit to decarbonization, as Dan Esty and I wrote in the @COLawReview: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
BREAKING: This year's #NetZeroStocktake shows companies, cities, and regions with #netzero targets increased, up 23%, 8% and 28%, respectively, since June 2023. Yet, 40%> of non-state and subnational actors still have no emissions reduction targets. zerotracker.net/analysis/net…

An honor for me to moderate a roundtable on what it would mean to implement the Declaration on Future Generations, to be adopted tomorrow at the #SummitoftheFuture. Could this be a seed for big transformations to address #LongProblems? Some ideas here: newscientist.com/article/mg2…

The average global temperature has increased by more than 1° Celsius above pre-industrial levels already. Where do countries stand on their climate targets? Great graphic @VisualCap @_NPUC @netzerotracker @ECIU_UK @OxfordNetZero @newclimateinst
