emissions reduction targets

Emissions reduction targets are commitments to lower the amount of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, released into the atmosphere. These gases contribute to climate change by trapping heat around the planet. Countries, companies, or organizations set specific goals to cut emissions over a set period, often aiming for a certain percentage decrease by a future date. Achieving these targets involves using cleaner energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and adopting sustainable practices. The goal is to slow global warming, protect ecosystems, and ensure a healthier future for all.
