Since after the industrial revolution, human source of CO2 emission has been ruin like burning of oil, coal, gases, burning plastic, use of fertilizers and deforestation, industrial processes.

As per the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC report, due to these causes global temperature increase to 8.6° by 2100.

To reduce global temperature and greenhouse gases emission United Nations urging countries to fix net Zero emission targets. This means any emission balanced by absorbing and equivalent from the atmosphere under the "race to zero-emission"

Sustainable development gold 13 talk about climate change. Greenhouse gas emission concern for climate change. Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty introduced in 1992 which will work on a convention on climate change to reduce the greenhouse gas emission.

The Source of Greenhouse gas emissions are

Transportation 28%

Electricity 27%

Industry 22%

Commercial and residential 12%

Agriculture 10%

At present, where developed countries are enjoying all types of good and effective facilities for a good life, on the other hand developing countries are struggling for basic needs. We have to understand here that developing countries are contributing 3% to emission whereas developed countries the United States 26% and China 3% at the global level.

According to the UN, the richest 1% of the Global population emits more than two times the emission of the bottom 50%.

World Bank said the high-income economy is not getting more than 15 to 20 year years to achieve net zero-emission.

Previous steps.

1. Kyoto protocol

2. Climate agreement

3. UN- SDG (united nation sustainable development goals

4. UNFCC United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change

5. Carbon credit

Way to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emission

1. Need to focus air afforestation

2. Population control

3. Focus on renewable energy and reduce the use of fossils fuel burning

4. Switch to Green Transportation transportations like use bicycle walking sporting based on hydrogen fuel, electric and solar vehicles

5. Focus on recycling, reduce and reuse (RRR)

6. Switch to organic agriculture

7. Maintain a balance between development and environment

8. Use direct air capture and storage Technology DACS

9. Need to make proper Framework for Paris agreement

10. Developed countries provide proper learning to UN Green Climate Fund that calls for 100 billion dollars annual funding.

11. Need to set target both in respective of short-term and long-term plan, countries like US, UK European Union 2050, china2060, India need to take steps to set target.

12. Need to focus on the proper treatment of Industrial waste

13. Change the mindset and wasteful behavior with that use biodegradable products. Use and promote biodegradable products

14. Use carbon sequestration, carbon credit, carbon tax, green tax to reduce it

15. India Can attract the world through National Action Plan on Climate Change NAPCC

16. Developed countries can help developing countries through financial aid, India can raise it in UNSC and collaborate with the world.

17. Products with star mark and low CO2 emission

18. Global participation and cooperation in terms of technology transfer to help and motivate countries to minimize emission and to achieve a target to net zero-emission.

Conclusion

"There is no planet B" for us to stay so we have to understand the mother earth condition and global corporations should take place for this issue because the emission of CO2 and climate change is a global issue. Climate justice is the right of the citizen and should be a balance between the development and the environment.
