Q&A with John Elliott, Chief Sustainability Officer, about Berkeley Lab’s Net-Zero Vision and Roadmap
The science shows clearly that in order to avert the worst impacts of climate change, global temperature increase needs to be limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. And to achieve this goal, emissions need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050. Research News spoke with John Elliott, the Lab’s Chief […]
