About Race to Zero

Led by the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, the Race to Zero is a global campaign rallying non-State actors – including companies, cities, regions, financial, educational, and healthcare institutions – to take rigorous and immediate action to contribute to halving global emissions by 2030 and deliver a healthier, fairer, zero carbon world. Since June 2020, over 15,500 members have joined the campaign and are committed to the same overarching goal: reducing emissions across all scopes swiftly and fairly in line with the Paris Agreement.
