What is Net Zero?
Net zero is the achievement of balancing the carbon emitted into the atmosphere with the carbon removed from it. To reach net zero, emissions from homes, transport, agriculture and industry need to be reduced.
With the scale of extreme weather over the past few years increasing, the scientific evidence is clear, emissions of greenhouses gases from human activity are causing our climate to change. We all need to reduce our net greenhouse gas emissions as close to zero as possible.
In 2019, the UK became the first major economy to pass legislation that commits us to net zero emissions by 2050.
