Unraveling the Carbon Cycle: Is “Carbon Neutral” Truly Equivalent to 5 Gt CO₂?
General Knowledge & EducationUnderstanding Carbon Neutrality: Is 5Gt CO₂ Equivalent? Carbon neutrality has emerged as a critical concept in the fight against climate change. It refers to the state in which net emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere are balanced by the removal or offsetting of an equivalent amount of CO₂. Achieving carbon neutrality is critical
