Net Zero Emission
Put simply, net zero means cutting carbon emissions to a small amount of residual emissions that can be absorbed and durably stored by nature and other carbon dioxide removal measures, leaving zero in the atmosphere.
COP Paris 2015
The 2015 Paris Agreement, adopted at COP21, is a landmark global accord aimed at combating climate change. It seeks to limit global warming to well below 2°C, with efforts to keep it below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Countries pledged to submit Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) outlining their emission reduction goals, reviewed every five years for increased ambition. The agreement emphasizes financial and technical support for developing nations to adapt to climate impacts. It marks a significant step in uniting nations toward a sustainable, low-carbon future.
NDC
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are key commitments under the Paris Agreement adopted at COP21 in 2015. Each country submits its NDC, detailing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. NDCs are updated every five years, with the goal of increasing ambition over time. They reflect each nation’s circumstances, capacities, and priorities, ensuring flexibility and fairness. NDCs are critical to achieving the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting global warming to below 2°C, with efforts to stay below 1.5°C.
