Net Zero North-east

What is net zero?

Net zero is achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gas emissions emitted to the atmosphere and the amount removed from the atmosphere. Emissions can be removed through natural carbon sinks or through technology such as carbon capture and storage. The overall aim is to stop any increase in the overall concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to prevent the global temperature rising further. The aim is to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees centigrade.
