The Carbon Neutrality Coalition (CNC) is a group of countries, cities and organisations which have committed to take concrete and ambitious action to achieve the aims of the Paris Agreement.[2][3][4]

History

The Carbon Neutrality Coalition (CNC) was founded in 2017 by 16 countries and 32 cities,[1] inspired by Bhutan.[5] In December, New Zealand Climate Change Minister James Shaw said "The Coalition is a perfect fit with our goal of becoming a net zero emission economy by 2050"[6]

In September 2018 the Coalition held its first meeting at the UN General Assembly[3] and 4 new countries joined: the UK; Canada ; Denmark and Spain .[7][8][4][9][10][11]

In September 2019 at the UN Climate Summit, it was announced that 5 new countries were joining the coalition: Austria, Chile , Italy, Japan and Timor-Leste[12].

Benefits

The coalition aims to achieve benefits in 3 key areas:[3]

  • Socioeconomic benefits
  • Climate-resilient economies
  • Accelerating global climate action

Plan of Action

Coalition members agree to

  • Develop and share their de-carbonisation strategies, experiences, data and tools before 2020[2]
  • Promote increased ambition from all countries globally on reducing emissions[2]

Criticism

In July 2019 a World Economic Forum blog said a number of member nations haven't made any substantial carbon neutrality steps[13].
