Carbon neutral
and
Net Zero
Q : What is Carbon neutrality and Net zero?
A :
-
Carbon Neutrality: refers to reducing the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere to the lowest level, which can be achieved by reducing emissions, using more environmentally friendly technologies and energy, and through carbon offsets. Carbon neutrality means that a system (which can be a country, organization or individual) has zero net carbon emissions, that is, the amount of carbon emitted is equal to the amount of carbon removed or offset through various means.
-
Net Zero: This is a more macro goal, usually referring to achieving net zero carbon emissions on a global scale. Not only carbon dioxide is involved, but other greenhouse gases as well. The goal of carbon zero is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions globally, by reducing emissions and taking offset measures to avoid irreversible damage to the global climate.
Both goals are aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change. Carbon neutrality is more focused on net-zero emissions within the scope of an individual or a specific organization, while carbon neutrality is a more macro-level net-zero emissions goal at a global level. Achieving these goals requires global cooperation, including actions by governments, businesses and individuals to reduce carbon emissions and offset residual emissions through various means to contribute to building a cleaner and sustainable future.
