Scenarios about 'net zero'
The global target of achieving a balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced and those removed from the atmosphere, effectively eliminating net contribution to climate change. Net zero policies typically involve reducing emissions through renewable energy, efficiency improvements, and sustainable practices, while offsetting remaining emissions through carbon capture, reforestation, and other removal technologies. This concept has become central to international climate agreements and national environmental strategies since the 2015 Paris Agreement.
