dc.description.abstractThis chapter elaborates on the global climate change situation and outlines strategies for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The study is set against the backdrop of rising global energy consumption, which increased from 270.5 EJ (Exajoules) in 1978 to 580 EJ in 2018, resulting in a 87% increase in CO₂ emissions, from 18.0 to 33.7 billion tonnes over the same period. The primary objectives are to assess climate tipping points, explore decarbonization technology options, and evaluate the contribution of interdisciplinary approaches to climate resilience. Methodologically, the chapter combines results from climate models, life cycle studies, satellite observations, and empirical socioeconomic studies. It acknowledges that renewable energy will provide 90% of electricity by 2050, and afforestation and reforestation (AR) can contribute up to 4.05 Gt CO₂-equivalent emission reductions by 2030. Soil carbon sequestration (SCS) is technically feasible at a rate of 2.3-5.3 Gigatons of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) per Year. Negative emissions technologies such as biochar application may remove −1,173 kg CO₂-eq./t CO₂, and BECCS alternatives between −12 and −1,013 kg CO₂-eq./t CO₂. Climate tipping points are more probable than a 1.5°C increase in global warming and may have long-term consequences for the Amazon and Greenland Ice Sheets. Additionally, digital transformation reveals that firms with a 0.32% mean digital asset intensity experienced considerable reductions in carbon emissions. The originality of the chapter resides in bringing environmental modelling together with socioeconomic data, historic context, and digital innovation. It provides scalable, evidence-based solutions with the possibility of adoption in climate policy, green infrastructure, and equity-based mitigation approaches.
