Abstract

The ESG discourse has gained track in Brazil lately, and with it, the awareness on the climate change emergency by the private sector. To tackle that issue, a global net zero emission target was set by science (IPCC) to 2050, and many campaigns and networks started to stimulate joint collective action from different stakeholders, including enterprises. The paper seeks to demonstrate, in that scenario, how and why many multinational companies and large Brazilian enterprises, started to set net zero emissions goals, in line with the Paris Agreement. It is analysed two case studies, exemplifying that course of action. The research concludes by pointing that to be credible those net zero targets should detail which short and medium term actions would be taken to achieve climate neutrality, and also include all sources of emissions from the companies.
ESG和净零排放目标:巴西通过私营部门自愿承诺加速气候行动
最近,ESG话语在巴西得到了关注,随之而来的是私营部门对气候变化紧急情况的认识。为了解决这一问题,科学界(IPCC)制定了到2050年的全球净零排放目标,许多运动和网络开始激发包括企业在内的不同利益相关者的联合集体行动。本文试图证明,在这种情况下,许多跨国公司和巴西大型企业如何以及为什么开始根据《巴黎协定》设定净零排放目标。它分析了两个案例研究,举例说明了这一行动方针。该研究的结论指出,要使这些净零目标具有可信度,就应该详细说明将采取哪些短期和中期行动来实现气候中和,并包括公司的所有排放源。
