How to Achieve Carbon Neutrality Target: The Differences of Timelines in Global Countries

The extreme climate change is universally recognized as one of the most exigent challenges currently confronting the world. Carbon neutrality is a key strategy to help mitigate the effects of climate change while maintaining sustained economic growth. Many countries have established long-term goals for achieving carbon neutrality, and proposed a variety of related concepts, such as carbon neutrality and climatic neutrality. This paper effectively combines these ideas and summarizes the main ways to achieve these goals, and analyzes the differences in carbon neutrality goal timelines among various countries. Finally, this paper explores the key factors that contribute to these differences in order to alleviate the negative impacts of global climate change.
