Net Zero

Net Zero alignment is the most significant industrial and societal challenge that we are currently facing. 

What is net zero?

What is Net Zero?

It's about balancing the amount of greenhouse gases we release into the Earth's atmosphere with the gases we remove.

If we achieve 'net zero', we will not increase the total amount of greenhouse gases, which trap heat from the sun and increase global temperatures1.

We need a new momentum

What is net zero

We need a new momentum

Man and his activities have led to an increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, intensified by the industrial revolutions since the 18th century. 

In 20152, at COP21, 195 parties adopted the Paris Agreement, which aims to "keep the increase in global temperature well below 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels, while seeking ways to limit this increase to 1.5C". As things stand, however, the world is not on the right track to achieving this objective.

All stakeholders (political decision-makers, businesses and citizens) have a role to play and, as individuals, we can modify our lifestyles to collectively influence change.
