How important is net zero?
Climate science is clear that, to a close approximation, the eventual extent of global warming is proportional to the total amount of carbon dioxide that human activities add to the atmosphere. So, in order to stabilise climate change, CO2 emissions need to fall to zero.

How important are companies for achieving net zero?
Reducing an organisation's carbon footprint directly reduces its environmental impact because carbon emissions are a major contributor to climate change and its catastrophic effects on the environment.
