As drivers of climate action enter the fourth decade of what has
become a multi-stage race, Net Zero has emerged as the dominant
organizing principle. Hundreds of corporations and investors
worldwide, together responsible for assets in the tens of trillions
of dollars, are lining-up for the UN Race to Zero. This latest
stage in the race to save civilization from heat, drought, fires,
and floods, is defined by steering toward zeroing out greenhouse
gas emissions by 2050. Settling Climate Accounts probes the
practice of Net Zero finance. It elucidates both the state of play
and a set of directions that help form judgements about whether Net
Zero is going to carry climate action far enough. The book delves
into technical analyses and activates the reader's imagination with
narrative accounts of climate action past, present, and future.
Settling Climate Accounts is edited and authored by Stanford
University faculty and researchers. The first part of the book
investigates the rough edges of Net Zero in practice, exploring
questions of hedging risk, Scope 3 emissions, greenwashing, and the
business of asset management. The second half looks at states,
markets, and transitions through the lenses of blended finance,
offsets, debt, and securitization. The editors tease out possible
solutions and raise further questions about the adequacy and reach
of the Net Zero agenda. To effectively navigate the road ahead, the
editors call out the need for accountability and ask: who is in
charge of making Net Zero add up? Settling Climate Accounts offers
context and foundation to ground the rapidly evolving practice of
Net Zero finance. Targeted at seasoned practitioners, newly
activated leaders, educators, and students of climate action the
world over, this book embraces the complexity of climate action
and, in so doing, proposes to animate and drive hope.
