Transition Toward Net Zero: Charting a Sustainable Future — Bijetri Roy & Debesh Roy

Description

Transition Towards Net Zero: Paving the Path for a Sustainable Future delves into the profound challenges posed by climate change to the sustainable development of our planet. This global phenomenon exerts far-reaching impacts on humanity, biodiversity, ecosystems, and infrastructure. The urgency is underscored by the IPCC’s projections of severe climate risks by the end of this century, even in low-emission scenarios.
To confront this crisis, the book emphasizes the critical need for ambitious and accelerated action in both climate change adaptation and robust mitigation efforts. Meeting the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting global warming to 1.5°C demands that global greenhouse gas emissions peak before 2025, decrease by 43% by 2030, and achieve net-zero by 2050. While advanced economies like the US, the UK, the EU, and Japan aim for net-zero by 2050, emerging markets such as China and India set targets for 2060 and 2070.
