Problem
Climate action commitments are made by governments and corporations at varying levels of specificity, using different baselines, target years, and greenhouse gas scopes. This inconsistency makes it difficult for stakeholders to compare progress, verify claims, or hold entities accountable for their net zero pledges.
Solution
ZeroTracker provides a comprehensive, standardized database that tracks net zero targets across all UNFCCC party nations, regions in the largest 25 emitting countries, cities with over 500,000 inhabitants, and the world's 2,000 largest public companies by revenue. The platform categorizes target status on a spectrum from proposed pledges to externally validated achievements, and details interim targets, greenhouse gas coverage, and scope 3 emissions handling. Users can explore data through an interactive explorer, access company-specific profiles with historical target evolution, and download datasets for further analysis. The platform also offers a quarterly newsletter and AI-powered chat assistance to help users interpret climate commitments.
Target Audience
Primary users are climate researchers, policy analysts, sustainability professionals, investors, and journalists who need reliable, comparable data on net zero commitments to assess corporate and governmental climate action.
