New and updated Glossary terms

We’re excited to announce that TCLP’s Glossary of defined terms has received a boost!

Our Glossary is a precedent bank of commonly used terms for climate-conscious drafting, designed to save you time and freely available to all. With thanks to our volunteer community, we’ve added nine new terms and updated 11 others to raise their net zero ambition.

Our brand new additions are:

• GHG Protocol
• Net Zero
• Net Zero Target Plan
• Offset Provider
• Offsetting Strategy
• Paris Agreement Goals
• Science Based Targets
• Sustainability Measures
• Sustainable

We’ve updated our existing definitions of:

• Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e or CO2eq)
• Carbon Footprint
• Climate Change Mitigation Measures
• Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
• Greenhouse Gases (GHGs)
• Net Negative
• Net Zero Target
• Offset or Offsetting
• Paris Alignment or Paris Aligned
• Residual Emissions
• Scope 1, 2 and 3 Emissions

We hope you enjoy using them in your own drafting. If you’d like to help improve any of our existing Glossary terms, or draft new ones, please do get in touch.
