Seven years after the landmark 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, a large majority of country signatories and hundreds of companies have committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. At the same time, emissions have rocketed, with global annual CO2 emissions rising to 36.3 gigatons in 2015, further jeopardising the 1.5C
