climate pledge

Carbon reduction commitment

A climate pledge is a formal commitment by a government, corporation, or organization to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or take other environmental action.

These pledges typically set targets for carbon neutrality or emissions reductions by a specific date: The company's climate pledge promises net-zero emissions by 2040.

Critics note that pledges often lack enforcement mechanisms.
