WHY NET ZERO AND WHY NOW?

TACKLING THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY

The urgency of addressing climate change has never been more evident. The latest reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paint a stark picture of the consequences of inaction, emphasising the need to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and the loss of biodiversity all underscore the critical importance of transitioning to a low-carbon economy.


Against this backdrop, the concept of net zero emissions has emerged as a beacon of hope, a tangible pathway towards mitigating the worst effects of climate change. Net zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gases emitted and what is removed from the atmosphere. This ambitious goal requires a concerted effort from governments, businesses, and individuals alike. Read our reflections here from COP28.
