You may well already be familiar with the term ’net zero’ and if not, you soon will be, as the environmental and conservation sectors of governments of many different countries are now coming together to work towards cutting greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere to as near to zero as possible.

Global carbon reduction is a necessary action that needs to be taken to protect the natural world, the environment, and the very fabric of the planet. With this in mind, here’s an informative guide to global carbon reduction.

The Importance of ‘Net Zero’

It’s no longer viable or indeed, helpful in the slightest to continue to imagine that global warming and climate change are future problems and not something that individual people or national companies and governments need to be thinking about right now.

Instead, in order to avert the largest and most serious crisis that planet Earth has ever experienced or even has been threatened with, and indeed to preserve life for future generations, it’s absolutely imperative that everyone comes together to limit the core temperature of the planet.

Impressively effective, innovative and world-renowned ethical companies such as Carbon Clean are doing everything they can to make this happen, even though the temperature of the Earth is already around 1.1 degrees centigrade higher than it was in the late 1800s.

How Can Global Carbon Reduction be Achieved?

By far the most important and pertinent challenge that humankind has ever and likely will ever face is the fight against climate change, the irony being that the reason why the Earth is in jeopardy in the first place is essentially due to the man-made industrial revolution.

To achieve global carbon reduction on a worldwide scale and indeed, to reduce carbon emissions to as close to zero as possible, it’s necessary to achieve a complete and uninterrupted transformation of how everything is made, consumed, and transported.

In the energy sector alone, approximately three quarters of all the harmful and toxic greenhouse gas emissions are produced here, and therefore, inarguably, the industry of energy provisions and production has the highest chance of achieving net zero than any other sector.

Are Countries Working to Achieve Net Zero?

Fortunately, although there’s significantly more work to be done in the fight for global carbon reduction, there are many government institutions, international businesses, entire cities, and indeed countries who have pledged to significantly reduce their global carbon emissions.

Fortunately, this list is steadily growing, and now includes some of the world’s top polluters to the atmosphere, such as the United States and China, for example, as well as the worldwide Science-Based Targets Initiative, that are all working to reduce their own carbon emissions to bring them in line with the science of climate change.

However, the situation is still a worrying one, mainly due to the fact that to have a healthy and thriving planet, net zero needs to be reached by 2050 and current projections show that right now, the world is falling short.
