LSC/UoS - Carbon Emission Reduction Dilemma: Sustainability

This report examines the carbon emission reduction dilemma, focusing on the EU's goals and the Paris Agreement objectives. It evaluates the feasibility of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 and discusses the actions required from various sectors. The report highlights the importance of sustainability practices, the role of COP26, and the efforts of business organizations in the western world to reduce emissions. It also emphasizes the need for international cooperation, policy adjustments, and financial investments to meet the set targets and mitigate the impacts of climate change, concluding that a concerted effort is essential for creating a sustainable future.

INTRODUCTION
Sustainability is a broad policy concept and includes three main pillars environmental,
economic and social. It is the concept under which the aim is to sustain for longer period of time.
Due to rising pollution there are major issues that have undertaken in society at global level (Fu
and et.al., 2021). It is peak time to understand follow sustainable practices in order to minimise
the negative impact. There are various aims and objectives that are being formulated by the
government and it becomes essential to follow them. This report is based on “The Carbon
Emission Reduction Dilemma”. There is target plan being formulated under Paris agreement that
includes goals and objectives. In this report, there is evaluation related to the agreement and the
actions that can be taken to achieve the desired goals.
MAIN BODY
The Carbon Emission Reduction Dilemma
The EU wants to be carbon neutral by 2030. For the reason there was a meeting naming
COP26 which is one of the most significant climate moment since the 2015 Paris Agreement.
The main focus was on reducing the carbon emission. COP stands for Conference of the Parties
that have signed the agreement to follow the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) . The planned to cut the greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030
so that the target of being carbon neutral can be achieved. It is important that all the sectors of
the economy contribute to the process (Nilashi and et.al., 2019). All the actions must be taken
according to the goals being set in the agreement so that target plan can be achieved. The time is
critical for the world and if the suitable actions will not be taken than the problems will get
enhanced. All the communities are working to follow the actions and manage all the aspects that
they can do. They want to become net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and by working on the
standards set in the Agreement the same is possible.
How the EU will ever achieve this target and comply with the projected goals and standards of
the Paris agreement
The objectives being set in the 2030 Climate Target Plan are as follows:
 To set cost-effective path in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
 To create green jobs and regularly track EU's greenhouse gas emissions

 To encourage the international partners that will enhance the ambition to limit the rise in
global temperature. It will help to avoid the severe consequences.
It is seen that, EU is working on all the goals and objectives effectively. They have
planned to achieve their targets for the reason the sustainability is being followed. They are
working on reducing the carbon footprints so that they are able to reach near to their target. All
the policy makers and investors are working in effective manner to achieve the targets of the
agreement. They all are working in responsible manner so that all the issues can be solved. The
proposal is followed in proper manner so that the management is able to carry on the work
properly. All the business organisation are setting their aim to reduce carbon prints. All the
people are working to take care of these activities so that the overall aim can be attained. The use
of right actions by all the people will help EU to achieve the targets (Ahmed, Thompson and
Glaser, 2019). All the challenges are being faced by the people and now the strategies to
overcome them are followed. The use of such strategies will be beneficial for the success and
growth of the organisation and the overall nation. Along with that regular check of the climate
with the help of proper monitoring techniques. The actions are taken in all the important areas
such as drive livelihood improvements, and job creation biodiversity restoration, to deliver a just
transition to an environmentally friendly, regenerative economy (Practical Action at COP26 UN
Climate Change Conference 2021). They are using finances is proper manner so that the aim is
achieve properly. Inclusive practices are being started by the people and each individual is
contributing to the success of the nation. The trust of government is being used in positive
manner and both local and national community are contributing to success of the nation so that
real success of the company are attained. All the stakeholders are being involved so that they can
also contribute to the success of organisation (Burciaga, 2020). The public consultation that
invites the stakeholders are being increased so that action and policy design that are necessary
for deeper greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Will organisations in the western world truly become carbon neutral and achieve zero emissions
by 2030?
There are positive steps that are being taken by the business organisations in the western
world to achieve the target of zero emission. It is important to motivate them and value their
efforts so that they are able to beat the environmental challenges and the devastating impact they
are causing (Arora, 2019). The focus on the standards of the Paris agreement support them to

carry on the work in positive manner. All the countries are participating in the agreement and
trying to achieve the success so that they are able to meet the objectives. By working in with
same dedication and efforts western world will be able to carry on success and will truly become
carbon neutral and achieve zero emissions by 2030.
CONCLUSION
From the above report, it is concluded that there is need of using all the resources in
optimum manner. There are various negative impacts of climate changes to the nations. It is peak
time to take the actions and carry on the steps to attain success. In this report, the discussion
related to Paris agreements and the objectives being set under the same. The actions taken by the
countries are mentioned in the report so that they are able to successfully attain the aim. The
concept of sustainability must be understood and followed by the business organisations.
