Net Zero pathways split by geography, by sector, and by technology are useful for policymakers but don’t give a practical roadmap for impactful investments. We have divided the Net Zero pathway provided by Paul Hawken’s ‘Project Regeneration’ into three buckets contributing to a total of 1600 GtCO2e in GHG reductions through 2050.’
'Doing less harm' by reducing the emmissions intensity of current products and processes.
'Avoiding emissions' by replacing high carbon products and processes with low carbon alternatives.
'Sequestration' through nature based carbon sinks.
Providing a transparent tool for identifying relevant company debates
Launching an active proxy voting campaign in 2022

Brigita is a materials scientist and energy storage enthusiast. She’s been fascinated with batteries since high school and has ended up doing research on energy storage, both in academia and industry, since 2016. Currently, she’s pursuing a DPhil in Materials at the University of Oxford, spending 5 to 6 days a week in the lab trying very hard to come up with a novel solid electrolyte for sodium batteries.
Rina has always been a strong believer that climate change and the environment make business sense. Rina applied this belief early in her career by switching from non-profit environmental advocacy work to the private sector, specialising in carbon markets.
