GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE TRENDS

The article is devoted to the analysis of the trend of setting goals by the corporate sector to achieve zero greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions. The factors driving this trend are considered, including international climate agreements, non-financial disclosure requirements, and restrictions on financing carbon-intensive projects. It is emphasized that the desire for carbon neutrality is due to the scientific consensus on the impact of anthropogenic CO2 emissions on negative changes in the climate system.
