Global CCS Institute and Columbia University's CGEP release net zero report as part of Climate Week NYC | |
With over 1,500 registrants from around the world signed up to attend, the Global CCS Institute and Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) held a packed event during Climate Week NYC 2020. Along with hosting two panel discussions that featured policy and energy industry experts, the Institute and CGEP released a co-authored report titled 'Net Zero and Geospheric Return: Actions Today for 2030 and Beyond.'
Findings in the report show that in order to hit mid-century net zero targets, emissions will need to be reduced by 50% within the next ten years. Key to achieving these reductions is the rapid deployment of climate mitigation technologies and climate finance polices, say lead authors Alex Zapantis and Julio Friedmann.
