To move towards a Greener future , scores
of nations are aiming to achieve net
zero emissions . the U.S and many other
targeting 2050, with countries like India
and China targeting it decades later . but
do you know that, there are a handful of
carbon sink countries that have their
emissions already in check.
on your screens you can see the eight
countries that have achieved this feat.
they are Bhutan,
comoros ,
Gabon, Guyana, Madagascar , Niue Panama and
Suriname.
so what do we mean by net zero emissions.
Net zero emissions are achieved when
more carbon dioxide is absorbed from the
atmosphere each year then it is emitted.
so reaching Net Zero on a global scale
is a central part of efforts to prevent
global warming from exceeding the 1.5
degree celsius climate Target . and if you
notice one thing that is common amongst
all of these nations is that , most of
them are small countries with limited
industrial sectors . who prioritize
ecological protection measures.
so as we move towards The Greener future.
we hope that soon in the coming days we
get to update the map , where we show
these eight countries who have achieved
net zero emissions.
