  • Join the Race to Zero

The shift to a zero-carbon future is underway. It is creating good jobs, driving sustainable growth, building resilience, protecting people’s health and building a better future for us all. This platform tells stories of progress, from across the planet, being delivered by business, governments, cities, civil society, faith groups and more.

Together they show, if we pick up the pace, that this is a race we can win. Stories come from the coalition of net-zero initiatives that make up the UNFCCC’s Race to Zero Campaign, and beyond, built on a platform conceived and developed by the We Mean Business coalition.
