Net Zero Strategy

The UN report concludes that we need to limit global warming to 1.5°C to avoid the high risk of catastrophic consequences for people and our environment. To do so, the world needs to follow up peak emissions in 2020 with a halving of emissions every decade until 2050, starting with the first halving by 2030. This simple rule of thumb, called the Carbon Law, can be applied to everyone: companies, cities, nations and citizens.

Net Zero is the point at which global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are balanced by emissions reductions and carbon removal projects.
