Challenges in net zero for hard-to-abate
As regulatory, investor, and societal pressure mounts, businesses are expected to set and deliver on ambitious net zero targets. Yet achieving net zero is complex, requiring more than emissions accounting. Organizations must navigate evolving standards, assess transition risks, and build credible, science-aligned pathways to decarbonization.
From the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to the EU’s CSRD and global ESG ratings, net zero commitments are now closely scrutinized. Businesses that embed integrity and transparency into their net zero strategies are better positioned to lead in a low-carbon future.

Net Zero Targets and Decarbonization Stress Testing
In any transition plan, it is crucial to include a compelling strategy that focuses on decarbonization and the attainment of net zero emissions.
High-income countries must reach net zero way before 2050
According to DNV’s Pathway to Net Zero Emissions report, limiting global warming to 1.5°C remains a possibility - but is highly improbable. Drastic measures, and permanent cuts in emissions are necessary to reach net zero in 2050.
