This means that the policies currently in place are not sufficient to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030”.

It is a problem that requires international cooperation and coordinated solutions at all levels. To combat climate change and its negative effects, world leaders meeting in Paris at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) reached a breakthrough on December 12, 2015: the historic Paris Agreement. Thus, the 'Net Zero footprints 2023' conference is a platform that was launched in order to bring together partners from various sectors to engage in the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level as close as possible to zero, with the remaining emissions being reabsorbed from the atmosphere, by the oceans and forests, for example. Currently, Earth is already about 1.1°C warmer than it was in the late 1800s, and emissions continue to rise. To limit global warming to 1.5°C, as set out in the Paris Agreement, emissions must be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050”. “The conference was very informative about net zero footprint and how each stakeholder contributed solutions, suggestions, information and data that allow us to move forward and work on the basis of a higher progression. important towards the net zero footprint" , confided the director of Global Cynergies Mauritius.
