A new report states that “global carbon neutrality” needs to be achieved by 2055–2070 to limit global temperature rise to a 2°C increase relative to the preindustrial period. The report was released a few weeks prior to the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference, which will be held on 1–12 December in Lima, Peru.
