Realizing Net-Zero Emissions: Good Practices in Countries

Abstract

This paper considers the growing need for frameworks that provide confidence that governments are increasing near-term climate action to reach net-zero GHG emissions targets. National governments are already taking concrete climate action, but it is difficult to determine the extent to which current and planned future action will enable the transformations necessary to radically decarbonize economies while ensuring a just transition. To explore this challenge, we present a framework showing key national climate actions for achieving a just transition to net zero.
