On the occasion of the World Environment Day 2020, the UNFCCC’s Climate Ambition Alliance (CAA) has launched a global campaign called “Race to Zero”for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
The campaign encourages actors outside of national governments to join the Climate Ambition Alliance by committing to achieving net zero by 2050.
The “Race to Zero” campaign aims to codify commitments made via the Climate Ambition Alliance (CAA), which launched ahead of last year’s COP25 in Madrid.
