About the consultation
The future of Race to Zero Invitation to public consultation sets out the context and outlines the process for the open consultation to shape the future of Race to Zero. This process, driven by the High-Level Champions on Climate Action and all the Race to Zero Partners, will explore how to drive cooperation and coordination within the climate action ecosystem to leverage different non-State actors’ capacities and expertise with a view to ensure the implementation of robust climate action based on credible net-zero targets.
In realizing this vision, each actor and institution is encouraged to reflect upon the contributions they can offer and the functions they must perform to halve emissions by 2030 and accelerate the shift towards a 1.5C aligned trajectory.
The process for the public consultation is as follows:
