"CMIA helped to explain the potential for project-based mechanisms across a variety of constituencies and is a key voice driving the conversation on results-based finance and sector approaches for scaling-up emission reduction investments. We urgently need input from organisations like CMIA to operationalise Art 6 of the Paris Agreement."

Achieving net zero: the investor angle

6th August 2019 by CMIA

Reaching net zero carbon emissions is the new reality.

Take a look at this new report from CMIA member Mott MacDonald: http://bit.ly/CarbonCrunch6

In May 2019, the Committee on Climate Change recommended a greenhouse gas emissions target of net zero by 2050. In June, the prime minister delivered a speech committing the UK government to this new target, with signs that similar targets will be legislated across the EU and internationally.

To reach this ambitious target will require industry to make progress on carbon reduction on an unprecedented scale. This report outlines how this will be possible.
