Both the public and the private sector are rising to the challenge of implementing innovative projects, groundbreaking initiatives and strong strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
A number of governments around the world have now declared their aim to become climate neutral in the next decades through renewables, carbon taxes, energy efficiency, carbon offsetting and more.
Cities from Europe to Asia and North America are also coming on board with strategies including clean transport, carbon neutral buildings and awareness raising campaigns.
A growing number of companies are taking steps to reduce their energy consumption and become more sustainable. From banks to energy producers and cosmetics firms, companies from across sectors are taking bold steps towards climate neutrality. Strategies range from the local to the global, with greener offices, climate neutral products and far-reaching commitments to reduce emissions across the supply chain.
Associations and organisations are also adopting climate neutral principles in their activities -- such as procurement and travel -- as well as promoting climate neutrality to their members and/or partners.
UNEP’s climate neutral network brings together this growing group. As participants join, it will serve as a platform for networking and the sharing of best practice, catalyzing progress towards a low carbon society.
