ExxonMobil’s reduction pledges do not take Scope 3 emissions into account, and the company’s leadership takes issue with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s approach to measuring emissions, as described below. Heat-trapping emissions must be cut in half by 2030 to reach the Paris agreement goal of keeping global warming to 1.5

The recent boost for CDR is linked to an emerging trend in climate policy which understands CDR as supplemental to urgent action on decarbonization and overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions (rather than a replacement for those activities). The Paris Agreement did not reference or define CDR, nor did it define the term “removals.”
