GDP Analysis of UN Report on Net Zero Commitments

Released this month, GDP’s analysis of a recently released report from a High Level Expert Group on the Net Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities. The group, formed by the UN Secretary General, was tasked with addressing net zero pledges and commitments from non-state actors, including corporations, financial institutions, and local/regional governments.

The report, Integrity Matters: Net Zero Commitments by Businesses, Financial Institutions, Cities and Regions, was released during the UNFCCC Climate Change Summit COP27 in November 2022. Whilst the focus of the report is on larger non-food sector organisations, the impact will no doubt cascade through to the dairy supply chain regardless of size, in the future. This summary will help dairy sector colleagues appreciate what the sustainability reporting landscape will look like in the future in support of strategy development.
