That’s why the United Nations launched a roadmap for the clean energy transition during the COP26 climate change conference earlier this month.
- How to accelerate the net-zero transition in transportThe role of transport was front and center at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland. Leaders from nations, cities, international organizations, NGOs – and notably the private sector – zeroed in on the role of transport as one of three critical sources of carbon emissions as well as the only sector still increasing in its greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint.
- What does net-zero emissions mean and how can we get there?At net zero, carbon dioxide emissions are still generated, but an equal amount of carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere as is released into it, resulting in zero increase in net emissions. While sustainability efforts are increasing around the world, some sectors are harder to decarbonize than others.
- Zero carbon by 2050 is possible. Here's what we need to doProducing zero carbon steel could add 20 to 25% to the cost of a tonne. But in all sectors except one the impact on consumer prices and therefore consumer living standards will be trivial. The cost of an automobile made from green steel, or of a pair of jeans shipped in a zero-carbon fashion, would be no more than 1% higher than the old high ...
- These 8 countries have already achieved net-zero emissionsThese ‘carbon sinks’ absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year than they emit. Most are small, with limited industrial sectors and prioritize ecological protection measures. Global action to combat climate change has prompted a wave of national commitments to reach net zero : the US and many others are targeting 2050, with ...
