What Is ISO 14068 – Carbon Neutrality?
Key Features of ISO 14068
Measure emissions, reduce impact, verify offsets and ensure transparent reporting.
A Global Agreement For Change
The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 at COP21 in Paris, is a landmark international treaty that unites almost every nation in the fight against climate change. Its core objective is to limit global temperature rise to well below two degrees Celsius and to pursue efforts to stay below one point five degrees compared to pre-industrial levels.
- To achieve this, countries committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing climate resilience and supporting developing nations through technology and finance.
- The long-term vision is to reach global carbon neutrality or net zero emissions, around 2050 by balancing any remaining emissions through credible reduction and offset measures.
- The Agreement underpins today's global climate strategies and frameworks such as ISO 14068 help organizations turn this shared ambition into measurable, transparent, and verifiable climate action.
