Racing to net-zero: A captivating but distant ambition
Companies now more than ever, need to work on reducing their emissions to reach net-zero. There has been an agreement amongst policy makers that net-zero will only be made possible with the use of CDR (carbon dioxide removal). CDR is a process – either natural or technical – in which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere. CDR has been rapidly rising due to large corporations drawn to such processes:
“The reasoning is simple: A traditional carbon offset only prevents additional CO2 from entering the atmosphere (instead of removing already-emitted CO2).”
Vodafone aims to improve European road safety with new platform
Vodafone is releasing a new platform STEP ‘Safer Transport for Europe Platform’, which collects data from connected devices to improve road safety across Europe.

Temperatures in the Arctic are rising, and with that satellite images show that the continent is getting greener. Some theories suggest that “Arctic greening” will aid climate change due to plants taking in CO2. Donatella Zona, a biologist who focuses on the response of ecosystems to climate change, has studied why this may not be the case.
