August 8 , 2021 1016 days 725 0
  • Oxfam has recently released a new report titled “Tightening the Net”.
  • It said that ‘net-zero’ carbon targets announced by many countries may be a dangerous distraction from the priority of cutting carbon emissions.
  • It says that about 1.6 billion hectares of new forests would be required to remove the world’s excess carbon emissions by 2050.
  • To limit global warming below 1.5°C and prevent irreversible damage from climate change, the world should cut emissions by 45% by 2030 from 2010 levels.
  • Currently, countries plans to cut emissions will only lead to a 1% reduction by 2030.
