Strategies to achieve a carbon neutral society: a review

🤖 Plain-English Summary

The increasing global industrialization and over-exploitation of fossil fuels has induced the release of greenhouse gases, leading to an increase in global temperature and causing environmental issues. Developing resilient buildings and cities, introducing decentralized energy systems, and the electrification of the transportation sector is also necessary.

🔑 Key Findings

• There is therefore an urgent necessity to reach net-zero carbon emissions.
• Only 4.5% of countries have achieved carbon neutrality, and most countries are still planning to do so by 2050-2070.
• Moreover, synergies between different countries have hampered synergies between adaptation and mitigation policies, as well as their co-benefits.
