Half of Global GDP Under Net Zero Emission Targets

Data from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU)

$39 trillion or 49% of the world’s annual GDP comes from nations, regions, or cities with net zero targets. This includes 121 nations.

HUGE increase in pledged targets

The percentage of the global GDP with net zero targets has increased 3x in the past 8 months, since the ECIU launched its tracker. The increase is linked to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) report that was released in 2018.

Reaching net zero by 2050 provides a 50% chance of keeping global warming to the Paris Agreement target of 1.5 degrees Celsius
