What is climate neutrality?
Climate neutrality means achieving a balance between carbon emissions and the absorption of carbon from the atmosphere into carbon sinks.
All Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions → worldwide must be offset by carbon sequestration to achieve net zero emissions.
A Carbon Sink → is a system that absorbs more carbon than it emits. The most important natural carbon sinks are soils, forests, and oceans.
Carbon stored in natural sinks such as forests is released into the atmosphere through fires, land-use change, or deforestation. For this reason, CO₂ emissions must be reduced to implement the climate neutrality target.
Those days, no man-made carbon sinks can remove carbon from the atmosphere at the rate needed to combat global warming.
