By 2040, we aim to reduce our CO2 emissions by 90% (compared to 2020) by acting on scopes 1, 2 and 3 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. To achieve our net zero carbon target, we will also reduce our 10% residual emissions by investing in carbon sequestration initiatives.
Introduction. Major sources of international climate change law include the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the decisions made by the UNFCCC in implementing these treaties.
