UN: corporate climate pledges full of greenwashing

Promises by companies, banks and cities to reduce their emissions to net-zero are often full of greenwashing. That’s according to a report by a UN group of experts released Tuesday at COP27. An estimated 80 percent of global emissions are covered by pledges to sharply cut emissions. But „many of these net-zero pledges are little more than empty slogans,“ said the head of the expert group, Catherine McKenna.
