Negative Emissions Initiatives

Negative Emissions Initiatives are strategies aimed at removing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere to combat climate change. These methods include natural solutions like planting forests, which absorb CO₂ as they grow, and technological approaches such as direct air capture, where machines extract CO₂ from the air. The goal is to reduce the overall amount of greenhouse gases, helping stabilize global temperatures and mitigate environmental impacts. These initiatives are considered essential for achieving long-term climate targets, especially to offset emissions from activities that are difficult to eliminate entirely.
