As a goal net-zero is achieved when any residual carbon emissions are counter-balanced fully by dedicated carbon removal. Delivering large removals would likely drive up costs of food and energy, exacerbating food insecurity and fuel poverty. The global stampede to adopt net-zero climate goals continues unabated.
