Net Zero

🌱 Net Zero Course: Get Your Business Ready For The Future

Understanding Net Zero

Net Zero is a pivotal concept in the fight against climate change. It's about achieving a delicate balance where the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted into the atmosphere is no more than what can be removed by natural processes or carbon sinks. 🌍

Key Facts About Climate Change:

• The last two decades are the warmest on record, with the years 2015 to 2018 being the four warmest ever. 🌡️
• Global temperatures have risen by approximately 1°C since the pre-industrial era.
• If we continue on our current path, temperatures could increase by as much as 3-5°C by 2100.
• Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make up a staggering 99% of all businesses in the UK and contribute to carbon emissions. 🏢
• Every business, regardless of size, has a role to play in reaching net zero.

The Importance of Going Net Zero

To 'go net zero' means significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and either neutralizing the remaining emissions through carbon offsetting or enhancing carbon sinks. It's not just an environmental imperative but a business one too. 🎯

Net Zero Explained:

• Net Zero: A state where the total GHG emissions are no more than the total emissions removed from the atmosphere.
• Carbon Neutral: A term often confused with net zero, but it specifically refers to achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
• Emissions: The release of harmful gases into the environment, primarily CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide.
• Greenhouse Gases (GHGs): Gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming.
