Reducing emissions to net-zero

Information

To stop global warming and achieve the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement, global carbon emissions must be halved in the next decade and reach net-zero by 2050. In developed countries, this requires a transformation of society and the economy. In low- and middle-income countries, it requires climate-conscious development. To limit the rise in global temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, net-zero carbon dioxide is required globally by 2050. This means that emissions across every part of the economy must be cut as close to zero as possible, with any residual emissions balanced by the removal of an equivalent amount of CO2 from the atmosphere using nature-based or engineered solutions. There is no blueprint for achieving a net-zero world but work by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the International Energy Agency, national governments and others shows the scale and pace of change needed in the coming decades. Net-zero is a global goal with which everybody needs to align – governments and businesses alike. We can help you explore scenarios, assess options and develop strategies to align your activities with the transition to a net zero world, and to cut your own emissions as far and fast as possible. We can then support you to turn strategy into action through project design, delivery and operation, and by transforming your assets and systems to become more efficient and lower carbon.
