How do we scale and accelerate the net zero transition? The crucial role of international standards
Climate Group 
Three major challenges are slowing down the net zero transition; confusion around what good net zero action looks like, confusion around how to measure progress towards net zero and confusion around who to trust and how to verify net zero claims. The net zero transition will not succeed without sufficient reporting, governance and accountability. Formal international standards, assurance, measurement and accreditation, together known as quality infrastructure, is uniquely positioned to address the challenges of scaling measurement and verification.
That’s why the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is convening the development of the world’s first verifiable international standard for organizational net zero transition plans. Leveraging this powerful behind-the-scenes system will become possible once the ISO net zero standard launches at the targeted date of COP30.
