Taskforce on Net Zero Policy

Launched at COP28 in Dubai, building on the work of United Nations Secretary-General’s High Level Expert Group (HLEG) on Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities, the Taskforce on Net Zero Policy will aim to help realise its recommendations.

The focus of the Taskforce is to ensure the credibility and accountability of 1.5°C-aligned net zero emissions commitments by non-state actors is underpinned with coherent policies and regulatory certainty, centering around three primary objectives: 1) Establishing a collaborative space that encourages the sharing of knowledge, practices, and insights among policymakers and regulators; 2) Providing research and technical support, particularly in areas which support the net zero transition in a way that is consistent with the HLEG recommendations and that also works for companies of all sizes and addresses the needs of middle and low income and the most vulnerable countries; 3) Identifying opportunities within regulatory frameworks that support the implementation of the HLEG recommendations.
