Global efforts to reach net-zero carbon emissions are failing in almost every way, with one exception: the boom in electric vehicles.
That’s the conclusion of a study that was jointly conducted by the Bezos Earth Fund and other non-profits which assessed 42 different measures key for the world hitting net zero by 2050. They cover electricity, industry, transport and land as well as the need to scale up nascent carbon-removal technologies and climate finance.
