Today we’d like to thank our team of volunteers at the Net Zero Tracker, and in particular to Yuin who has tracked up to 50 entities. The Tracker depends on this team to collect the key data on the targets of a range of entities, which drives the NZT's research and analysis.
With John Lang we pioneered the tracking of national #NetZero targets in 2019, an initiative that has grown beyond any wild dreams into the internationally recognised Net Zero Tracker, together with Oxford Net Zero, Data-Driven EnviroLab and NewClimate Institute
