This report by the Taskforce on Net Zero Policy is a resource for policymakers and regulators looking to advance their net zero policy and regulatory work; and more broadly for corporations, financial institutions and other non-state actors committed to supporting decarbonization goals, in alignment with their duties to clients, beneficiaries and constituents. It provides insights and recommendations for developing high integrity corporate and financial policies that drive rapid and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. It builds on ‘Net Zero Policy Matters’ 2024, which showed that policy action is taking place worldwide – in both developed and emerging markets – on a much broader scale than previously envisaged. In the 2025 edition, the Taskforce examines progress made since COP29 across the G20 countries, using the Oxford Climate Policy Monitor 2025 survey, expanding the scope to draw qualitative examples from selected non-G20 countries.

UNEP FI participates in the Taskforce on the Secretariat and its Board of Trustees, and co-authored this report.
