Llegar a las emisiones netas es necesario para limitar el calentamiento global a mucho menos de 2 °C y hacia 1,5 °C, que son los objetivos de temperatura del Acuerdo de París. Más de 50 países en todo el mundo han establecido objetivos para alcanzar las emisiones netas cero, normalmente para 2050, y la mayoría de los demás están trabajando en objetivos similares.

While solutions exist to transition to a carbon-neutral economy, including both technology and behavioral changes, which often come with economic, social, or development benefits, many barriers prevent their uptake. We compile evidence from the academic and gray literature to identify 15 sectoral transformations that allow the achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. We then list barriers that prevent their uptake, such as hurdles related to infrastructure, regulations, public and private finances, information, and political economy issues. Finally, we provide more than 50 examples of sector-level government interventions that can lift these barriers, such as building infrastructure, reforming regulations and subsidies, providing information and capacity building, and managing distributional impacts. Governments can use this information to inform the design of comprehensive climate strategies that translate the long-term net-zero emission goal into a roadmap of required transformations in each sector, and then work on designing and implementing government interventions at the national, regional, or local levels to enable them.
