In particular, we need to reduce 23 Gigatonnes by 2030 from the current 41 Gt emitted per year and achieve net-zero by 2050. In this context, several countries and companies have taken up the challenge, and currently, 90% of the globaleconomy and a third of the 2,000 largest companies have net-zero pledges.
New Zealand, a nation of about 5 million people, in late January reported progress toward its goal to cut emissions by 30 percent over the next decade compared with 2005 levels — but recognized current measures won’t be enough to meet the ParisAgreement goals.
