- What ‘net zero’ means
- How your organisation can achieve net zero
- How to report on your carbon reduction activities
- Understand what Science Based Targets are and why they are important
- Know how your organisation can commit to a Science Based Target, develop it and then submit it.
What level is the session and do I need any particular skills?
This session is aimed at beginner/intermediate level - for those who already have a basic understanding of what net zero means and what your organisation can do to achieve it.
