This review explains the science behind drive for global net zero emissions and why this is needed to halt ongoing rise in temperatures. We document how concept of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emerged from an earlier focus on stabilization atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Using simple conceptual models coupled climate–carbon cycle system, we explain approximately CO declining energy imbalance due other climate drivers are required warming multidecadal timescales, introducing important concepts, including rate adjustment constant forcing emissions.

Abstract Net-zero targets imply that continuing residual emissions will be balanced by carbon dioxide removal. However, are typically not well defined, conceptually or quantitatively. We analysed governments’ long-term strategies submitted to the UNFCCC explore projections of emissions, including amounts and sectors. found substantial levels at net-zero greenhouse gas on average 18% current for Annex I countries. The majority were imprecise about which sectors would originate from, few offered specific how could Our findings indicate need a consistent definition as processes standardize compare expectations across This is necessary two reasons: avoid excessive residuals correspondent unsustainable unfeasible carbon-removal send clearer signals temporality fossil fuel use.

Li-CO2 batteries possess exceptional advantages in using greenhouse gases to provide electrical energy. However, these following Li2CO3-product route usually deliver low output voltage (<2.5 V) and energy efficiency. Besides, Li2CO3-related parasitic reactions can further degrade battery performance. Herein, we introduce a soluble binuclear copper(I) complex as the liquid catalyst achieve Li2C2O4 products batteries. The exhibits high electromotive up 3.38 V, an increased of 3.04 enlarged discharge capacity 5846 mAh g-1. And it shows robust cyclability over 400 cycles with additional help Ru catalyst. We reveal that easily capture CO2 form bridged Cu(II)-oxalate adduct. Subsequently reduction adduct occurs during discharge. This work innovatively increases higher than 3.0 paving promising avenue for design regulation conversion reactions.

Promoting and achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) net zero will be a high priority among companies institutions. Several strategies are being developed to motivate integrate SDGs zero-related approaches in companies, which the circular economy (CE) is gaining momentum due its documented impact on elements of zero. In fact, recent studies began examine relationship between CE, through different perspectives with areas application. Although this primarily for implementation targets, very few demonstrate concerns about CE-SDG-net relationships, specifically smart CE. traditional CE influences positively, approach remains insufficient several areas, including lack real-life information, where most practices principles reside.

Abstract Carbon dioxide removal is rapidly becoming a key focus in climate research and politics. This raising concerns of “moral hazard” or “mitigation deterrence,” that is, the risk promises and/or efforts to pursue carbon end up reducing delaying near‐term mitigation efforts. Some, however, contest this risk, arguing it overstated lacking evidence. In review, we explore reasons behind disagreement literature. We unpack different ways which moral hazard/mitigation deterrence (MH/MD) conceptualized examine how these conceptualizations inform assessments MH/MD risks. find commonly recognized feature modeled pathways but conclusions as real‐world existence diverge on individualistic versus structural approaches examining it. Individualistic favor narrow MH/MD, tend exclude wider political‐economic contexts emerges. exclusion limits value relevance such approaches. argue for broader understanding what counts evidence practices propose agenda complements theoretical accounts with empirical studies structures may drive dynamics. article categorized under: The Economy Climate Mitigation > Benefits Social Status Change Knowledge Sociology/Anthropology Policy Governance Multilevel Transnational
