Book: “Voluntary Climate Neutrality of the Private Sector – Key to Achieving the 2°C Target”

Combating climate change is one of the major challenges for international politics. It is about far more than just an ecological issue. It concerns the protection of prosperity and freedom, and potentially even matters of war and peace. From our perspective at the Senate of Economy, it has always been clear that climate policy must overcome traditional frameworks of thinking. We need international solutions. In addition to political action, we must activate the private sector – especially the wealthy segment of it – and alongside all efforts to avoid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2, we must also remove it from the atmosphere in the form of so-called negative emissions.
