Aiming for zero a growing business movement

This briefing aims to support companies to engage more meaningfully in the net zero debate by first giving relevant background on what net zero is, then offering specific solutions for business, and finally providing the broader context to ensure that business is in step with relevant policy developments and timescales. It covers the following questions:

  • What does net zero mean?
  • Is net zero possible?
  • Why should business engage?
  • How should business respond to an economy-wide net zero emissions goal?
  • Should companies set a net zero carbon target?
  • Why should net zero be talked about now?
  • What should governments do on net zero?
  • Are the current climate change targets compatible with net zero?
