Description
| Description | Climate Neutral Now is an initiative launched by UN Climate Change in 2015, aiming at encouraging all stakeholders in society to take climate action to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century, as enshrined in the Paris Agreement adopted the same year. |
|---|---|
| Objectives | Climate Neutral Now aims to contribute to limiting the raise of the temperature by proposing an immediate set of actions: measure, reduce and offset with trustworthy units, recognized under the United Nations. Committing to taking these three steps incentivizes behavioral changes within companies, organizations, individuals, i.e. consumers, whom in turn will drive the change within their industries and networks. |
| Activities | Climate Neutral Now invites companies, organizations, governments and citizens to work towards climate neutrality by reducing their climate footprint through a 3-steps method, whereby they:
Measure (estimate) their greenhouse gas emissions; Reduce them as much as possible; and Compensate those which cannot currently be avoided by using UNFCCC-recognized offsets, totally or partially. |
| One or two success stories achieved |
