Is Carbon Neutrality the same as Net Zero ? Sometimes the two terms are used interchangeably but they are not the same. This is why?? Carbon Neutrality: Is the condition that an entity can reach when their GHG emissions are balanced out by offset mechanism or other acts to remove an equivalent amount of Carbon from the atmosphere, such as planting trees or paying carbon credits. Net Zero: This is stricter and applied to emissions and removals under direct control or territorial responsibility of the reporting entity over a period of time. Therefore it forces the entity to make every effort to remove the extra GHG emitted by the very entity in the territory as close to zero possible. #Cleanenergy #Netzero #Climatechange #Greenenergy #Renewableenergy #Sustainableenergy

Being committed to carbon neutrality isn't just a trendy buzzword – it's a powerful pledge towards a sustainable future. But what does it really mean? Simply put, carbon neutrality involves balancing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere with an equivalent amount removed or offset. This entails minimising carbon emissions wherever possible through energy-efficient practices, renewable energy adoption, and waste reduction initiatives. However, achieving carbon neutrality isn't solely about reducing emissions – it's also about actively removing carbon from the atmosphere. This can be accomplished through nature-based solutions like afforestation, reforestation, and soil carbon sequestration, which capture and store carbon dioxide. It's about recognising our responsibility to safeguard the planet for future generations while driving innovation and fostering sustainability! #CarbonNeutrality #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalResponsibility

Too often we see the phrases #NetZero and #CarbonNeutral used interchangeably. However, the two have different meanings. Net zero by 2050 is the global goal set by the #ParisAgreement in 2015. The aim is to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C and guarantee a commitment from countries to reduce their emissions. On the other hand, carbon neutrality is one way, among many, to achieve net zero. 💡 Share this post to spread this knowledge! #ZunoCarbon #ToZeroandBeyond #CarbonReporting #CarbonManagement #ESGPlatform #ESGSoftware #GHGReporting #Decarbonization

The urgency to achieve carbon neutrality is undeniable. As businesses, we have a responsibility to be part of the solution! But what exactly is carbon neutrality? It means achieving net-zero carbon emissions – balancing the amount of carbon released with the amount removed from the atmosphere. So, how can businesses contribute? Here are a few key areas to consider: 👉 Measure Your Footprint: Before tackling emissions, you need to understand your starting point. Conduct a carbon footprint assessment to identify areas of high emissions. 👉 Reduce, Reuse, Rethink: Implement operational changes to reduce energy consumption and waste. Consider renewable energy sources, travel alternatives, and resource-efficient practices. 👉 Offset Your Impact: Invest in high-quality carbon offset projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere, like reforestation efforts. Achieving carbon neutrality is a journey and every step counts.

"In order to learn from the past, it is essential to recognise the historical patterns of domination and oppression that underpin the current system. The myths and assumptions at the core of the offset industry are rooted in this history and reproduce its injustices." The first in a series debunking the myths of the offset industry by my SOMO colleagues.

Carbon neutrality is the concept of achieving a net-zero carbon footprint by balancing carbon emissions with carbon removal or offsetting measures. This involves reducing carbon emissions as much as possible and then offsetting the remaining emissions through activities such as tree planting, investing in renewable energy projects, or supporting carbon capture technologies. By aiming to achieve carbon neutrality, businesses, organizations, and individuals can take proactive steps to reduce their contributions to climate change. This commitment not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also promotes sustainability, fosters innovation, and demonstrates environmental leadership. Achieving carbon neutrality is an important part of global efforts to combat climate change and transition to a low-carbon economy. This requires collaboration, innovation, and a concerted effort from all sectors of society. By embracing carbon neutrality, we can pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come. #scs #sustainability #SDG #ESG #carbonfootprint #CBAM #zeroemission #carbonneutral #partnershipsforthegoal #sustainabilityconsultancyservices

🌍 Navigating the Path to Carbon Neutrality: Reflecting on a Transformative Workshop Experience 🌱 Last week, alongside my colleague Corinne Hirzel-Andréan, I had the opportunity to participate in a captivating workshop focused on one of the most pressing issues of our time: carbon footprint.   The workshop, aptly named "2tons," refers to the 2 tons of CO2 emissions per year per person that each individual must achieve by 2050 to comply with the commitments of the Paris Agreement, aiming to keep the increase in global temperature below 1.5 degrees. Reflecting on this, I must admit my carbon footprint is currently much higher... 😔   So, what can I do individually, and what can we do collectively? Within a small, diverse group, we embarked on a collective journey to deepen our understanding of the levers driving the transition towards a low-carbon future.   Through engaging discussions, we envisioned pathways towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, evaluating tangible solutions across sectors such as food, transportation, industry, and energy. As the "ecological minister", I proposed measures to develop biogas, inspired by another participant successful transition from charcoal to biogas in his own company.   By adopting a systemic approach, we analyzed the roles of governments, businesses, communities, and individuals in driving meaningful change. As we grappled with the challenges of climate change and inequality, the workshop served as a catalyst for introspection and action. It underscored the urgency of collaborative efforts to forge a more sustainable and equitable world for generations to come. 💪   Let us heed the lessons learned and embark on a collective endeavor to navigate the complexities of the climate crisis. Together, we can pave the way towards a greener, more resilient future. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #CarbonNeutrality 🌍 2tonnes Corinne Hirzel-Andréan @Julianadavis Jean-René Levy @julienclery Do you want to estimate your own carbon footprint? https://lnkd.in/edYZJFSc

🌊Marine Carbon Neutrality: Embracing Sustainable Solutions🌱 In the global pursuit of carbon neutrality, Marine Carbon Neutrality emerges as a crucial focal point. With rising greenhouse gas emissions posing significant risks, achieving equilibrium between human activities and environmental sustainability is paramount. Harnessing the potential of oceanic environments is key to realizing Marine Carbon Neutrality. By leveraging natural processes like the solubility and biological pumps, along with strategic interventions, we can work towards achieving net-zero emissions. The maritime industry, crucial for global trade and transportation, also plays a pivotal role in the journey towards carbon neutrality. Efforts to reduce emissions from shipping, such as implementing cleaner fuels and improving vessel efficiency, are essential steps in this direction. Collaborative efforts across industries, supported by robust policies, are essential for transitioning towards Marine Carbon Neutrality. By integrating sustainable practices and embracing technological innovations, we can pave the way for a greener and more resilient future. 🌍Join us in embracing Marine Carbon Neutrality and championing sustainable solutions for a healthier planet.💚 #CaravelleInternationalGroup #CACO #MarineCarbonNeutrality #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ShippingIndustry #EnvironmentalProtection
