In parallel to that goal we should really see massive investment in safe carbon capture at scale.
Indeed, even with net zero high CO2 levels in the atmosphere will remain for 1,000+ years and thus worsening effects on climate will remain for millenia. Therefore, we should not only have an urgent plan to stop increasing CO2 level but also to bring it back down.
