This article from The Manila Times argues that corporate net zero plans need to be grounded in climate science, not just marketing. It says companies should use IPCC and UNFCCC frameworks to set targets, measure emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3, and separate real reductions from offsetting. The piece also covers physical climate risk, like floods and heat, and says companies need to factor those into planning. It mentions electrification, renewable PPAs, hydrogen, and carbon capture for hard to abate sectors, and warns against relying on unverified offsets. For anyone working on decarbonization strategy, the article is a useful reminder that credible net zero requires transparent accounting and science based targets. It is light on specific implementation details, but it points to the right frameworks.
