Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is perfectly achievable if investment in fossil fuels is redirected to zero-carbon alternatives, according to speakers at the World Economic Forum’s Green Horizons Summit.
- 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.
- How to build smart, zero carbon buildings | World Economic ForumThere are four crucial trends driving zero carbon buildings: decarbonization, electrification, efficiency and digitalization. These four good “DEEDS” work in combination to reduce the carbon emissions and overall cost of building operations and supporting infrastructure. Buildings can achieve zero carbon (or zero carbon ready) performance ...
- 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 ...
- 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 ...
