Abstract: Abstract .The driving force of this book is an investigation into the data, metrics, and impact of climate action, which is increasingly framed by a new emphasis on achieving “Net Zero” targets. Net Zero describes a state of balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced and removed from the atmosphere, and it has emerged as the organizing principle for climate action. This introduction offers an account of the sequences, direction, meaning, and appeal by three turns in the climate action story: the Turn to Green Finance, the Turn to Risk and the Turn To Net Zero. These turns have redefined the counters of climate action, putting finance at the center.
