Climate Action Webinar: How can we promote the wise use of "Net Zero Emission" commitments?
While originally a strictly scientific term, Net Zero Emissions (NZE) has taken on a more popular social meaning as evidenced by the 140 countries, 9000 companies, 1000 educational institutions and over 600 financial institutions who have made NZE pledges and to varying extents are implementing NZE plans for their organizations. Yet, there is a growing gap in understanding between these social-political commitments and the scientific meaning of NZE. In this presentation, I draw upon recent research findings to discuss this gap, why it is problematic, and how it can be closed to help ensure more effective climate action for organizations.
This session will be an online webinar and will include a presentation from the Director of the Griffith Climate Action Beacon, Professor Brendan Mackey, followed by a 30-minute Q&A session.
