Join the 1.5°C business leaders
Business Ambition for 1.5°C is an urgent call to action from a global coalition of UN agencies, business and industry leaders, in partnership with the Race to Zero.
We’re calling on companies - across all sectors and geographies - to set science-based net-zero aligned emissions reductions targets.
By signing up to the Net-Zero Standard and committing to set a target in line with a 1.5C and net-zero future - our only future - your company can make its critical contribution to limiting the worst impacts of climate breakdown.

Why 1.5C and Net-Zero
The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment report was ‘code red’ for humanity.
It showcased the need for urgent climate action to maintain a habitable planet for humankind.
To avoid the most significant effects of climate breakdown, we must halve greenhouse gas emissions before 2030, achieve net-zero emissions before 2050 and halt global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
That’s why we are inviting all business leaders to publicly commit their companies to a science-based net-zero and 1.5°C target, and join the Race to Zero.
Your leadership on climate action starts now.
