Special Issue on Carbon Neutrality: Assessment of Pathways and Policies

By the end of 2020, around 51% of global CO₂ emission countries had announced their carbon neutrality targets, making it feasible to achieve the Paris Agreement targets. At the time of writing, the United States had also indicated plans to rejoin the Paris Agreement. If that happens, technology-leading countries are positioned to move toward carbon neutrality. In order to understand the impact of this change, there is a need for further research into the feasibility of pathways and policy measures. This special issue of Advances in Climate Change Research invites researchers to publish research outputs that support countries’ targets.
