Net Zero Stocktake 2023

The Net Zero Stocktake 2023 report analyzes the intent and integrity of net zero targets across over 4,000 entities, including national governments, subnational governments, and the largest publicly-listed companies, noting a shift from pledge-making to a focus on delivery.

• While the growth of national and subnational net zero targets has slowed, momentum among companies remains high. The number of large publicly-listed companies with net zero targets grew from 417 to 929 in slightly over two years.
• There has been a substantial increase in national government net zero targets that are supported by policy documents or legislation, rising from 5% to 75% over a two-and-a-half-year period.
• Despite the increase in pledges, there are limited signs of improved robustness in corporate and subnational strategies. A significant number of these entities, including those within the G7, still lack any emission reduction targets, and no major companies or producer countries have committed to phasing out fossil fuels.
