What is 'net zero'?
Net zero means cutting greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible and balancing any remaining emissions by removing them from the atmosphere. The UK has a legal target to reach net zero by 2050. This involves a big shift to clean energy sources like wind and solar, and improving energy efficiency.
