The Centre for Policy Development has produced a briefing note setting out key elements of net zero leadership for government.

The Government Leadership on Net Zero briefing note by Dr Mara Hammerle and Toby Phillips. It sets out three key dimensions of government leadership on net zero.

They are:

• Ambition: a leading net zero program
  has a challenging timeline and scale of
  action. It includes scope 3 emissions
  alongside scope 1 and 2 emissions.
• Innovation: leadership requires true
  change to internal systems, eg. internal
  carbon pricing.
• Honesty: leadership means clear and
  consistent reporting on aspects such as
  progress against clear emissions
  benchmarks, but also setbacks or
  unexpected difficulties.
