The Big Con: How Big Polluters are advancing a “net zero” climate agenda to delay, deceive, and deny.

Our report with Corporate Accountability and Global Forest Coalition uncovers the dubious arithmetic, vague targets and often unachievable technological aspirations of big polluters’ “net zero” plans. It analyses plans from key polluting industries including energy, aviation, technology, retail, finance, and agriculture. It also looks at some of the strategies these industries have deployed to ensure their “net zero” agenda becomes the primary dogma of the global response to the climate crisis.

The report is also available in French and Spanish on our website (above), and in Portuguese here.

A fact-file and two-pager (October 2021) are available in English, below.
