Abstract

The race to net zero emissions, where greenhouse gas emissions match removals, is underway as part of the global response to the threat of climate change. To achieve net zero, change is required at pace and scale across all sectors of the global economy to first drastically reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and then to offset remaining outputs through carbon removals. Transformative action is required to deliver net zero in a sustainable way, as systems transitions alone are insufficient (Schipper et al., 2022).
