The ISO Net Zero Guidelines

  • 8 December 2022

Launched at COP27, the ISO Net Zero Guidelines tackle a major roadblock for a world: the fragmented net zero governance landscape.

 

Competing approaches and concepts for “Net Zero” sow confusion and leave organisations struggling to navigate what they should do and which initiatives they should look to for best practice.

 

The ISO Net Zero Guidelines provide a common reference-point for credible net zero action that can be used immediately , offering a global basis for harmonizing, understanding, and planning for net zero for actors at the state, regional, city and organizational level. It was developed in a consensus-led process in the international standards system involving over 1,200 organizations and individuals from over 100 countries.

 

Join us to learn about the ISO Net Zero Guidelines and how they can be used to support your organisation to accelerate to Net Zero, and the important role they play in supporting better and more consistent governance across all global jurisdictions.
