Carbon neutraility basically refers to the net- zero carbon di oxide emissions. This can be done by balancing emissions of carbon dioxide with its removal or by eliminating emissions from society. Carbon neutrality 2050 is the world's most urgent mission by the united nations.
While the Covid pandemic has temporarily reduced emissions, Carbon di oxide levels are still important at record highs - and rising. Still, Pandemic recovery gave us an unexpected yet vital opportunity to attack climate change, fix our global environment, re engineer economies and re imagine our future. The european union, the united kingdom, Japan, The republic of Korea and more than 110 countries have built a truly global coalition for carbon neutrality by 2050 The Paris agreement aims to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible and undertake rapid reductions. In order to achieve net zero emissions, all worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will have to be counterbalanced by carbon sequestration. Carbon sink is any system that absorbs more carbon than it emits. The main natural carbon sinks are soil, forests and oceans. Another way to reduce emissions and to pursue carbon neutrality is to offset emissions made in one sector by reducing them somewhere else. This can be done through investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency or other clean, low-carbon technologies. EU's ETS is one such example. The European Union is committed to an ambitious climate policy. Under the Green Deal it aims to become the first continent that removes as many CO2 emissions as it produces by 2050. Currently five EU countries have set the target of climate neutrality in law: Sweden aims to reach net-zero emissions by 2045 and Denmark, France, Germany and Hungary by 2050 |

Dear Mahsinur,
This is your mentor Debbie. :)
Just like the European Green Deal, we have a Korean New Deal policy too! Regardless of where it is I really hope that our global goal of Carbon Neutrality 2050 can come true! To reach that goal, we definitely need to pace up a bit! (Fingers crossed! :D)
Best,
Debbie

Dear Mahsinur,
Good job in observing the global level agreement in achieving Carbon Neutrality. It seems that you are well informed of intergovernmental cooperations and achievements. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing this article with us!

Carbon neutrality must be achieved urgently and its achievance depends on private and public sectors, which is quite frustrating... I'm hopeful that the European Union successfully achieves it, through ETS.
