Global, African, and South African perspectives of decarbonization
The 'net zero' concept, denoting the balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced and absorbed, is central in climate change strategies worldwide. From the Paris Agreement to the African Union Commission Green Recovery Action Plan and South Africa's Nationally Determined Contribution Plan, net zero is influencing policies, investments, and initiatives globally and across Africa.
