Decarbonizing Development : Planning Ahead for a Future with Zero Emissions
Stabilizing climate change entails bringing net emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) to zero. CO2 stays in the atmosphere for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. As long as we emit more than we capture or offset through carbon sinks (such as forests...

| description |
Stabilizing climate change entails
bringing net emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) to zero. CO2
stays in the atmosphere for hundreds, if not thousands, of
years. As long as we emit more than we capture or offset
through carbon sinks (such as forests), concentrations of
CO2 in the atmosphere will keep rising, and the climate will
keep warming. Countries can follow three principles in their
efforts to create a zero-carbon future: (a) planning ahead
for a future with zero emissions, (b) getting carbon prices
and policies right, and (c) smoothing the transition and
protecting the poor. |
