Climate Neutral Now

Climate Neutral Now was launched by UN Climate Change in 2015, encouraging all stakeholders in society to implement action to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century, as enshrined in the Paris Agreement adopted the same year. Climate Neutral Now proposes an immediate set of actions: measure, reduce and offset with trustworthy carbon credits, including those recognized under the United Nations Climate Change Convention. Committing to taking these three steps incentivizes behavioral changes within companies, organizations, individuals, i.e. consumers, whom in turn will drive the change within their industries and networks.
