The latest report of the <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)</a> has once again made it clear that we must act collectively now to prevent the worst consequences of climate change. As governments around the world introduce new regulations to reduce CO2 emissions, businesses are expected to follow suit. They find themselves in a race against time to meet the ‘Net Zero by 2050’ target. The stakes could not be higher. By limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, it is understood that the most harmful effects of climate change may be mitigated. How well companies adapt to the new guidelines will be critical to reaching the 2050 goal. 
A recent <a href="https://racetozero.unfccc.int/21-of-major-companies-commit-to-net-zero/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">study</a> suggests that over 20% of the world&#8217;s largest public companies have committed to net zero. And the majority of those companies also have interim targets, a published plan and a reporting mechanism in place for their commitments. However, the study also indicates that the “net zero commitments assessed varied hugely in their quality and only 20% met the minimum set of robustness criteria, or ‘starting line’, as set out by the UN Race to Zero Campaign.”
The study leaves some open questions such as: Are the commitments enough? What can we learn from our past successes and failures? What are the greatest hurdles to overcome  to achieve net zero? What reporting standards can we align to?
Many in our GreenBuzz community are striving towards the same goal of achieving net zero. In this event we will discuss:
• science aligned targets,• following a decarbonising strategy,• measuring and reporting on their progress.
We invite our speakers and audience to learn from each other, share insights and make connections that can elevate the work that is being done to a speed that will meet our climate targets.  As a take away from this event, you will have a clearer idea on tackling your net-zero goals.

Der letzte Bericht des <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Weltklimarats</a> hat noch einmal verdeutlicht, dass wir jetzt kollektiv handeln müssen um die schlimmsten Folgen des Klimawandels noch zu verhindern. Mit der Einführung neuer Vorschriften zur Verringerung der CO2-Emissionen durch Regierungen auf der ganzen Welt, sind Unternehmen auch zum Handeln gezwungen.  Sie finden sich in einem Wettlauf mit der Zeit, um das Netto-Null-Ziel bis 2050 zu erreichen. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass durch die Begrenzung der globalen Erwärmung auf 1,5 Grad die schlimmsten Auswirkungen des Klimawandels verhindert werden können. Wie gut sich Unternehmen an die neuen Richtlinien anpassen, wird für das Erreichen des Ziels für 2050 entscheidend sein. 
Einer aktuellen <a href="https://racetozero.unfccc.int/21-of-major-companies-commit-to-net-zero/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Studie</a> zufolge haben sich mehr als 20% der weltweit grössten börsennotierten Unternehmen zu einem Netto-Null-Ziel verpflichtet. Die Mehrheit dieser Unternehmen hat auch Zwischenziele, einen veröffentlichten Plan und einen Mechanismus für Berichterstattung für ihr Netto-Null-Ziel eingeführt. Die Studie zeigt jedoch auch, dass die &#8220;Netto-Null-Verpflichtungen, die untersucht wurden, in ihrer Qualität sehr unterschiedlich waren und nur 20% die Mindestkriterien der UN-Kampagne &#8216;Race to Zero&#8217; erfüllten&#8221;.
Die Studie lässt einige Fragen offen, wie z.B.: Sind die Verpflichtungen ausreichend? Was können wir aus den Erfolgen und Misserfolgen der Vergangenheit lernen? Was sind die grössten Hürden, die zu überwinden sind, um Netto-Null zu erreichen? An welchen Berichtsstandards können wir uns orientieren?
Viele in unserer GreenBuzz Community streben das Netto-Null-Ziel an. Im Rahmen dieser Veranstaltung diskutieren wir:
• wissenschaftlich ausgerichtete Ziele,• Verfolgung einer Dekarbonisierungsstrategie,• Messung und Berichterstattung über ihre Fortschritte.
Wir laden unsere Redner*innen und Zuhörer*innen ein, voneinander zu lernen, Erkenntnisse auszutauschen und Kontakte zu knüpfen, um gemeinsam den Prozess zu beschleunigen und unsere Klimaziele erreichbar zu machen.  Teilnehmende dieser Veranstaltung werden eine klarere Vorstellung davon haben, wie sie ihre Netto-Null-Ziele erreichen können.
