What exactly is net zero, and can we get there?

There are hundreds of internationally agreed standards for achieving «net zero» commitments, but what does that really mean?

«Net zero» means achieving a balance between the amount of emissions produced and those emitted from the atmosphere to reduce global warming.

The move to » net zero» aims to balance negative emissions by removing emissions from the atmosphere to achieve carbon neutrality, which can be done in a variety of ways, including by individuals as well as industry.
