    Author : Johanna Flood; [2023]
    Keywords : Net-zero; transition; SBTi; sustainability reporting; sustainability ratings; CDP;

    Abstract : The emissions of greenhouse gases need to be cut by 45% between 2010 and 2030 and reach net-zero by around 2050 (IPCC, 2018) to limit global temperature-rise to 1,5 degrees C. More companies are committing to net-zero emissions, but the overall emissions of greenhouse gases in the world are still going up, and previous research shows that there is an implementation gap and lack of plans in companies.
