By Climate Champions | January 17, 2022
The High-level Climate Champions, supported by the Expert Peer Review Group, commit to annually review the Race to Zero’s minimum criteria, interpretation guide and lexicon in order to continue driving upward convergence towards best practice and to accelerate the transition to a zero carbon world, halving emissions within this decade.
The last update was completed in April 2021. The next consultation process begins on January 24, 16:00 – 17:00 GMT, and you are warmly invited to this opening session to learn more about the process and how to get involved.
