Net zero target

A net zero target is a goal to balance the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere with an equivalent amount removed or offset, effectively making the net emissions zero. This is aimed at limiting global warming and its impacts by reducing carbon footprints from activities like energy use, transportation, and industry. Achieving net zero often involves cutting emissions through cleaner technologies and practices, and compensating for remaining emissions by planting trees or using carbon capture methods. The overall objective is to help stabilize the climate and ensure a sustainable environment for future generations.
