At Carbon Zero Day, we recognize the critical urgency to address climate change and are committed to taking bold and decisive action to achieve a sustainable and resilient future. This policy outlines our unwavering commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in alignment with the 1.5°C pathway as outlined in global climate agreements.
Our primary objective is to contribute to global efforts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. We aim to achieve this by reducing, offsetting, and neutralizing our organization’s GHG emissions, promoting sustainable practices, and advocating for climate-conscious policies.
This commitment applies to all activities, operations, and projects undertaken by Carbon Zero Day. We will consider direct emissions from our operations, as well as indirect emissions from our supply chain, transportation, and other relevant sources.
We commit to achieving net-zero GHG emissions, ensuring that the total emissions produced by our organization are balanced by an equivalent amount removed from the atmosphere or offset through sustainable projects by the year 2030.
Recognizing the urgency to limit global temperature rise, we align our efforts with the 1.5°C pathway outlined in the Paris Agreement. Our commitment is aimed at contributing to global endeavours to curb the impacts of climate change and protect ecosystems.
We will maintain transparency in reporting our GHG emissions, mitigation efforts, and progress towards our net-zero goal. Regular, accurate reporting will be conducted and shared with stakeholders, demonstrating our accountability and commitment to sustainability.
We will prioritize the transition to renewable energy sources, aiming for 100% reliance on clean and sustainable energy within our operations. This includes the implementation of energy-efficient technologies and practices.
As an organization committed to growing forests, we will actively participate in reforestation and conservation projects. This includes the promotion of sustainable forestry practices, afforestation initiatives, and protection of existing green spaces.
We will engage in climate education and advocacy, both internally and externally, to raise awareness about the importance of net-zero emissions and the broader implications of climate change. Our goal is to inspire positive action within our community and beyond.
We recognize that achieving net-zero emissions requires collaborative efforts. We will actively seek partnerships with like-minded organizations, businesses, and governmental bodies to amplify our impact and contribute to collective climate action.
This commitment will be periodically reviewed to ensure alignment with the latest scientific advancements and global climate targets. Any necessary revisions will be made to enhance the effectiveness and ambition of our net-zero emissions strategy.
This Public Net Zero GHG Emissions Commitment is officially approved and adopted by Carbon Zero Day. All members, employees, and stakeholders are expected to adhere to and actively contribute to the realization of this commitment.
This policy will be subject to periodic review and update to ensure its alignment with evolving climate science, global agreements, and the best available practices.
