Is “Water Positive” the next “Net-Zero”? News Provided By Share This Article Water Positive initiatives, similar to Net-Zero, can have demonstrable positive impacts on the environment, climate, health, and society. UNITED STATES, May 5, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Is “Water Positive” the next “Net-Zero”? The concept of greenhouse gases, global warming, climate change, and the goal of carbon neutrality, or net-zero emissions, is now part of the common lexicon. It was only five years ago that 197 counties adopted the Paris Agreement to optimistically reduce emissions and limit the global temperature increase between 1.5 and 2.0 degrees Celsius. Since the signing, many countries and regions have committed to achieving a net-zero carbon footprint (Sweden 2045, Canada 2050, UK/Europe 2050, China 2060), and dozens of global corporations and cities have pledged net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. The Paris Agreement has also assisted in accelerating the energy transition (from fossil to green) and turbocharged the carbon offset and credit trading market.
