About Race to Zero
Led by the UN High-Level Champions for Climate Change, the Race to Zero campaign is a global movement that calls on non-state actors - including businesses, cities, regions, and financial, educational and health institutions - to take rigorous and immediate action to contribute to the halving of global emissions by 2030 and achieve a healthier, fairer and carbon-free world. Since June 2020, more than 13,500 members have joined the campaign and committed to the same overall goal: to reduce emissions across the board quickly and fairly, in line with the Paris Agreement.
