Emission Reduction Targets

Emission reduction targets are specific goals set by governments or organizations to lower the amount of greenhouse gases they release into the atmosphere. These gases, like carbon dioxide, contribute to climate change. The targets are usually expressed as a percentage reduction from a baseline year and may be timed for achievement by a certain date. Their purpose is to curb global warming, promote clean energy use, and protect the environment. These commitments guide policies, investments, and actions aimed at making economies more sustainable and reducing the harmful impact of human activities on the climate.
