The Problem with Focusing on Corporate Net Zero
21:48 - 30:32 (08:44)
Instead of just aiming to achieve net zero for themselves, companies should prioritize taking actions that help to achieve a global net zero outcome, such as prioritizing emission reductions over removals in the near term, according to this podcast. Carbon credits will only count if used as a complementary tool within a legitimate net zero pathway.

Summary
The creation of a successful carbon market requires establishing core carbon principles (CCPs) that address critical credit quality elements such as additionality, permanence, validation and verification, no double counting, and transition to net-zero emissions. CCPs also encompass sustainable development impacts and safeguards ensuring that the market is not chaotic or opaque.
