Essential Net Zero Concepts
Net Zero Imperative
Net zero by 2050 is essential to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Every year of delay increases costs and risks.
Balance of Emissions & Removals
Net zero means balancing what we emit with what we remove through technology and nature-based solutions.
Scope 3 Dominance
Value chain emissions (Scope 3) often represent 70-80% of total emissions but require collaboration to address.
Multiple Pathways
No single solution achieves net zero. Success requires combining renewable energy, efficiency, and carbon removal.
Economic Opportunity
The net zero transition represents trillions in economic opportunities for clean energy and sustainable technologies.
Urgent Action Required
Current emission trends lead to catastrophic warming. Immediate, ambitious action is essential for all sectors.
