Webinar: Assessing alignment and gaps in the voluntary net zero standards landscape

Event date: June 19, 2024

June 19th, 11am-12pm BST.

In this webinar, researchers from Oxford Net Zero explore the latest recommendations in the net-zero voluntary standards and guidance landscape.

Join us to learn what the key areas of alignment are and where gaps remain in the voluntary governance space.

We’ll be exploring current advice, based on our analysis of 37 net zero initiatives, including for quantifying an organisation’s GHG emissions; compensating for GHG emissions through offsets and credits; implementing transition plans whilst meeting targets for a ‘just transition’; and developments around firms’ lobbying and governance decision making.

This webinar is aimed at policy makers, standards professionals, business representatives and researchers interested in net-zero policy, regulation and voluntary governance.

Speakers:

  • Dr Matilda Becker, Oxford Net Zero
  • Alexis McGivern, Oxford Net Zero
  • Kaya Axelsson, Oxford Net Zero

With introductions from:

  • Professor Tom Hale – Professor in Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and co-lead of the Net Zero Policy and Regulation Hub
  • Dr Ritwika Sengupta, Net Zero Policy Manager, BSI
