After the declaration of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 at the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit, carbon neutrality has become a global topic as the best way to overcome the climate crisis.
They are now at a turning point towards a carbon-neutral society. Countries around the world are revising large-scale government policies and laws, expanding support for eco-friendly investments while competing to develop eco-friendly technologies and infrastructure. At the same time, the role of individuals as well as corporations is being strengthened.
