The briefing "Market instruments explained - Market instruments for corporate climate accounting" brings together the findings from a series of blog posts examining the role of market-based instruments in corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting.

In this briefing, we review the final SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard v2.0 and identify key implications for corporate climate action.

This academic article, published in the Climate Policy Journal, compares the methodological design choices of 10 approaches for assessing corporate low-carbon transition strategies.

Progress made, but a clearer focus on transition targets is needed in the final SBTi’s Automotive Standard.

Drawing on insights from the Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor 2025, this case study explains why GHG emissions reduction targets alone are insufficient for automakers to drive real change and demonstrates how transition targets can better steer decarbonisation across the value chain.

This report provides an updated analysis of the climate strategies of 28 companies operating in the Netherlands. It highlights trends in ambition, target-setting, and transition planning across sectors. It aims to support policymakers, investors, companies and civil society in understanding where progress is being made - and where decisive action is urgently needed.  This report was commissioned and funded by Milieudefensie  (Friends of the Earth Netherlands).

With this input, NewClimate feeds its latest insights and recommendations into the second public consultation on the SBTi Corporate Net Zero Standard v2.0 draft.

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, Climate Action Tracker’s warming projections show little to no measurable progress for the fourth consecutive year.

This is the 2025 edition of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report, which tracks progress in limiting global warming well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement.

The 2025 Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor (CCRM) analyses the climate strategies of 55 major global companies, critically assessing the extent to which they demonstrate corporate climate leadership.

This chapter of the 2025 Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor assesses the climate strategies of five major light-duty vehicle manufacturers: Ford, General Motors, Stellantis, Toyota and Volkswagen. The focus lies on their GHG emission reduction targets and key transitions for deep sector-wide decarbonisation.

This chapter of the 2025 Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor assesses the climate strategies of five major fashion companies: adidas, H&M Group, Inditex, lululemon and Shein, focusing on their GHG emission reduction targets and key transitions for deep sector-wide decarbonisation.

This chapter of the 2025 Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor assesses the climate strategies of five major tech companies: Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta and Microsoft, focusing on their GHG emission reduction targets and key transitions for deep sector-wide decarbonisation.

This report assesses five of the largest agrifood companies, focusing on how their climate strategies align with key transitions needed to cut emissions.

The Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor (CCRM) methodology provides an assessment framework to evaluate the transparency and integrity of corporate climate strategies. The updated v5.0 introduces updated scoring weightings and methodological refinements, including changes to the evaluation approach to assess sectoral transitions and support for carbon dioxide removals.
