Net zero refers to achieving a balance between the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere and the amount removed.
In contrast, Net Zero is defined in detail as a future state achieved through a 1.5°C reduction pathway demanding permanent (or like for like) emission removals. Ericsson’s approach and actions At Ericsson, we welcome stricter requirements and guidelines for how companies in all sectors can re...
Humayun Tai:The long-term direction doesn’t change: the commitment is to net zero. The Ukraine crisis does bring into questionthis “duality” we talkabout: on the one hand, we’re pushing toward net zero; on the other, we ask how the system can function in terms of affordability, ene...
