UN Will Form Group to Set Standards to Assess Climate Goals of Non-State Actors – Guterres

Glasgow – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in his opening remarks at the Climate Conference in Glasgow (COP26) on Monday he will establish a group of experts to set standards to measure net zero commitments made by non-state actors.

“There is a deficit of credibility and a surplus of confusion over emissions reductions and net zero targets, with different meanings and different metrics,” Guterres said. “That is why… I am announcing today that I will establish a Group of Experts to propose clear standards to measure and analyze net zero commitments from non-state actors.”
