Net zero: Copenhagen’s failure to meet its 2025 target casts doubt on other major climate plans

Lund Christiansen, Kirstine LU and Hougaard, Inge-Merete LU (2022) In The Conversation
Abstract
The city of Copenhagen, often celebrated as one of the world’s greenest for its cycling culture and other initiatives, recently defaulted on its pledge to become carbon-neutral by 2025. This early failure in the global race to net zero emissions (a balance between CO₂ emitted and absorbed) may foreshadow backtracking by other target-setters, indicating that pledges to cease contributing to climate change demand greater scrutiny.
