Making Climate Accountability the New Standard in Politics

Political campaigns leave a carbon footprint—through travel, events, digital advertising, mailers, and daily operations. Until now, those emissions have gone largely unmeasured and unaddressed.

Net Zero Campaign exists to change that.

We help political campaigns measure their carbon emissions, neutralize them through verified carbon credits, and clearly signal their climate responsibility to voters.

What We Do

1. Measure Campaign Emissions

We conduct carbon accounting specifically designed for political campaigns, capturing emissions from travel, events, digital operations, staffing, and outreach.

2. Neutralize the Footprint

We facilitate the purchase and retirement of high-quality carbon offset credits—prioritizing projects that support the U.S. green economy and deliver real, measurable climate benefits.

3. Certify Carbon Neutral Campaigns

Campaigns that achieve net-zero emissions earn access to the Net Zero Campaign credential, a clear and credible signal that they take climate responsibility seriously.

4. Voter Communication

We enable campaigns to clearly communicate their carbon-neutral status to voters and to tell a memorable story of its economic and environmental impact.

Why This Approach Works

Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time—but voters often lack trustworthy ways to identify candidates who back up their climate commitments with action.

Net Zero Campaign bridges that gap by:

  • Bringing transparency and accountability to campaign emissions

  • Channeling capital into climate solutions through carbon markets

  • Giving voters a credible signal of climate leadership

Net Zero Campaign creates impact in two ways:

🌱 Immediate Climate Impact

  • Campaign emissions are measured and neutralized, and capital flows directly to verified climate solutions.

🗳️ Long-Term Political Impact

  • Climate accountability becomes a competitive advantage—helping climate-aligned candidates earn trust, win elections, and shape future policy.

The Result

  • Cleaner campaigns

  • Stronger climate markets

  • Clearer signals for voters

  • More climate-forward leaders in office

Climate responsibility shouldn’t stop at policy promises.
Net Zero Campaign makes it part of the campaign itself.
