Realizing a carbon-neutral or carbon-free society to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change is an international issue and the Race to Zero towards achieving net zero carbon emissions has become a global campaign that involves businesses, universities, cities, regions, and investors. In November 2020, the Climate Action Pathways Report was published, outlining action plans for the eight thematic areas (energy, human settlements, industry, land use, oceans and coastal zones, transport, water and resilience) to fully implement the Paris Agreement.
