Executives from some of the world’s largest and most influential companies have gathered in the resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt to tout their progress

released Tuesday at COP27 that outlines best practices for companies that say they are committed to net zero. The report, released by a commission convened by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, offers a sharp rebuke to companies that claim to be tackling climate change without doing the actual work. It also offers 10 pointed recommendations about a path forward for corporations and other “non-state actors” like cities and investors.

The report also offers particularly pointed recommendations for the energy industry’s climate commitments: companies need to stop investing in new fossil fuel supply if they want to claim they are committed to net zero emissions. Many oil and gas companies have said they are working toward eliminating their carbon footprint while focusing on so-called carbon intensity targets, meaning they want to reduce how much carbon is generated by digging up the fossil fuels.

The willingness of the working group—known formally as the High-Level Expert Group on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities—to call out the long list of questionable practices that have taken hold around net zero won quick praise from activists. Tzeporah Berman, an activist pushing for a treaty to stop new fossil fuels, praised the report for its “courage.” Indeed, the report will provide activists with a clear and credible benchmark to hold corporations to account.

You not like being out grifted?

You're going to trust an organization that flies in private jets that burn more fuel in a day than a family of four burns in gas in a year? Hypocritical time.

Isn’t it ironic that the person of the year is way too far from contributing to solve this problem, but on the contrary, his glorious spirit is about to cause a nuclear war that will devastate the planet and humanity? Crazy.

'Climate goals'. Just send more money. They think they control the weather.

If the UN is saying it then it's safe to assume the opposite is true.

Governments and military are 1 polluters in the world. Decrease the size of the government and end all wars. Climate will improve when wars stop and nations stop being enslaved

I got an ad for Dole's Green initiative before this video played.....lol

There are way too many Climate Deniers. Do they just come here to troll because they want to see Earth's Climate get screwed up? Things will be worse than they are now even if we meet 1.5C goals. Yet for some reason people don't realize how important this is.

Fake science not real

Greenwashing: involves making an unsubstantiated claim to deceive consumers into believing that a company's products are environmentally friendly or have a greater positive environmental impact than is true.
