From: An audit of corporate decarbonisation ambition against low carbon futures
Total emissions disclosures of companies with targets, split into base year emissions, most recent progress, interpolated 2030 reductions and extrapolated 2050 ambitions. Part of the progress since the base year includes spurious reductions to scope 1 emissions (hatched), where two sequential statements are significant outliers bulk of the company emissions signal. These steps account for almost all the reduction since the base years. NGFS scenario decarbonisation is shown for context, showing estimates of global emissions reductions for three scenarios. 2030 company reduction targets roughly align them to the aggressive divergent net-zero scenario at 2030, although a lack of ambitious targets out towards 2050 reduce the 2050 reduction to the less progressive below \(2^{\circ }\)C scenario.
