Carbon Transition: Solutions for a net-zero future
Limiting temperature rises to 1.5°C means delivering net-zero emissions by 2050, according to the UN science body. This means offsetting carbon sources from human activities with sinks that absorb or capture the carbon. The net impact from humans on atmospheric C0₂ needs to be neutral, or in other words, net-zero.
