Realizing Net-Zero Emissions: Good Practices in Countries

This research paper by the World Resources Institute introduces a "Framework for Net-Zero Climate Action" designed to help governments increase near-term climate action to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets while ensuring a just transition.

• The paper addresses the difficulty in determining if current and planned government actions are sufficient to radically decarbonize economies and ensure a just transition, leading to the creation of a "Framework for Net-Zero Climate Action" that outlines outcomes, enabling action areas, and specific actions for a holistic approach.
• While no single country has a perfect approach to net-zero emissions, many have started implementing foundational decisions, including governance measures, stakeholder engagement, sectoral policy interventions, and necessary financing and investments.
• The document utilizes five country case studies to illustrate how nations are applying the framework's enabling action areas to overcome challenges and make significant progress toward their national net-zero targets.
