The Project
Net Zero Initiative is a project led by consulting company Carbone 4 supported by the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME), the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, et 21 major companies. It offers a unique framework to frame private sector action in favor of the only carbon neutrality objective that makes sense: the the carbon neutrality at global level.
To meet the challenges of the digital sector, the Net Zero Initiative for IT (NZI for IT) project has been created. This project aims tp:
- Establish a high-level working group of relevant businesses, academics, institutions and experts on the topics of IT and climate mitigation
- Investigate several topics related to the general question of the role of IT in the global net zero effort, including the issue of avoided emissions, carbon removals and associated claims
- Publish the results of each work area, through the production of guidelines and tools that will help all stakeholders understand the role of IT in the global net zero goal and prevent greenwashing.
