Reduce Net Greenhouse Gas Emissions To ZERO by 2025!
Rejected

What the petition asks
Under a zero-carbon scenario, the fossil-fuelled energy sector, which generates around 80% of global emissions, must be phased out fast: coal, oil, gas (including fracking). Also, all heating and transport would have to be weaned off carbon-based fuels onto clean electricity. We must act now!
Assuming the world pumped out about 42 gigatonnes (Gt) of CO2 in 2018, we would have to cut out 6Gt every year – to hit zero by 2025. There are two ways to go about this: Ramping up clean energy generation via renewable power, and simultaneously massively reducing the energy we use.
