| description | This submission was made to the United Nations High-Level Expert Group on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities (HLEG), during an open call for contributions. HLEG will publish recommendations for standards to be used in evaluating net-zero emissions commitments by businesses and investors.We discuss three scenarios in which such greenwashing occurs.
1. claims about emissions from a natural gas project in an environmental approvals context;
2. decision-making by financial institutions for a natural gas project; and
3. ‘green’ labelling of investment in natural gas. |
