From Professor of Environmental Policy, Roger Pielke, Jr., Ph.D.
How can net-zero carbon dioxide be achieved this century?
The same way that the world has achieved a doubling of average human lifespans and fed the world over the past century — through a commitment to technological innovation, diffusion and deployment while at the same time supporting economic growth. Advances in health and agriculture have taken place without globally negotiated targets and timetables and without cleaving the world along a wealth axis, pitting the rich against the rest.
COP28 will end in failure because it is fundamentally flawed. That does not mean climate policy has to fail. But getting on track will require that we start doing things differently. There is a word for doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
