‍* <sub>The UNFCCC Race to Zero is a global campaign that brings together businesses, cities and organisations committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Participants commit to setting credible climate targets, taking action to reduce emissions, and reporting transparently on progress. For the purposes of EOG membership, organisations may demonstrate compliance by joining a recognised Race to Zero initiative or by establishing equivalent independent commitments aligned with the EOG Reference Framework.
