What is climate change?
22/03/2024
Climate change refers to long-term alterations in Earth's average weather patterns, primarily driven by the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. These gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), trap heat from the sun that would otherwise escape into space, leading to a warming of the planet.
As a result of escalating concerns over the consequences of global climate change, various regulatory frameworks have emerged. As scientific consensus solidifies around the human influence on rising temperatures, policymakers worldwide are facing an urgent mandate to design and implement measures that curtail carbon emissions, promote sustainable practices, and safeguard vulnerable ecosystems.
In brief, carbon offsetting involves compensating for emissions by supporting external projects, while carbon capture is about capturing and managing emissions directly from your own operations. Both approaches play a role in reducing a company's overall carbon impact, but they target emissions at different stages of the carbon lifecycle.
What are Science Based Targets?
22/03/2024
Science-based targets initiative (SBTi) are specific, measurable goals that organizations set to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the latest climate science and the global effort to limit global warming. These targets are designed to ensure that emission reduction efforts are consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
How to reach net zero emissions
