Strategies to achieve a carbon neutral society: a review
Open accessAbstract
The increasing global industrialization and over-exploitation of fossil fuels has induced the release of greenhouse gases, leading to an increase in global temperature and causing environmental issues. There is therefore an urgent necessity to reach net-zero carbon emissions. Only 4.5% of countries have achieved carbon neutrality, and most countries are still planning to do so by 2050–2070. Moreover, synergies between different countries have hampered synergies between adaptation and mitigation policies, as well as their co-benefits. Here, we present a strategy to reach a carbon neutral economy by examining the outcome goals of the 26th summit of the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 26). Methods have been designed for mapping carbon emissions, such as input–output models, spatial systems, geographic information system maps, light detection and ranging techniques, and logarithmic mean divisia. We present decarbonization technologies and initiatives, and negative emissions technologies, and we discuss carbon trading and carbon tax. We propose plans for carbon neutrality such as shifting away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy, and the development of low-carbon technologies, low-carbon agriculture, changing dietary habits and increasing the value of food and agricultural waste. Developing resilient buildings and cities, introducing decentralized energy systems, and the electrification of the transportation sector is also necessary. We also review the life cycle analysis of carbon neutral systems.

TL;DR
This review synthesizes COP26 outcomes, national carbon-neutrality initiatives, emissions-mapping methods, sectoral decarbonization and negative-emissions technologies, and life-cycle analysis. It reports that only 4.5% of 198 countries had achieved carbon neutrality, while most target 2050–2070.
Key findings
- Of 198 countries, 4.5% had achieved carbon neutrality, 10.6% had declared or committed to it, 8.6% had legislated for it, 29.3% had relevant policies, and 47% were discussing documents; 120 of 198 countries (60.6%) aimed for carbon neutrality by 2050–2070.
- In China, nearly 80% of CO2 emissions were attributed to electric/thermal energy production and supply, petroleum processing and coking, and metals mining and dressing; Melbourne’s carbon footprint was 25.1 t CO2-eq/capita, with households contributing 64%.
- Of 885 European city climate action plans assessed in a cited study, only 147 considered both mitigation and adaptation; about 50% addressed both through initial assessments, but only a quarter considered in-depth synergies and co-benefits.
- In Scotland, a mix of bioenergy carbon capture and storage, soil carbon sequestration, and enhanced weathering could reduce emissions by 8.3–36.8 Mt CO2 and eliminate up to 89.8% of annual emissions; enhanced weathering costs ranged from US$25/t CO2 to US$1600/t CO2, and direct air carbon capture could reach 3 Gt CO2/yr by 2035.
Methods
- Literature review and narrative synthesis covering COP26 outcome goals, worldwide carbon-neutrality initiatives, carbon-emissions mapping, emissions-reduction technologies, negative emissions, carbon trading and carbon tax, and life-cycle analysis.
- Uses tabulated evidence: Table 1 compiles initiatives and target status for 198 countries; Table 2 summarizes carbon-emissions mapping methods; Table 3 summarizes life-cycle analysis studies across sectors and countries.
- No formal meta-analysis, systematic search protocol, or primary quantitative modeling is reported; the main analysis is descriptive and tabular synthesis of cited studies.
Limitations
- Stated: negative emissions technologies are not yet ready for widespread use due to uncertainty about technologies, pricing, and environmental implications; pure life-cycle assessments have not yet fully integrated a life-cycle perspective into organizational and decision-making environments; achieving net-zero carbon emissions is challenging.
- Stated: synergies between adaptation and mitigation are lagging; only a quarter of European climate action plans included in-depth analysis of mitigation–adaptation synergies, and Cameroon’s climate initiatives focused on mitigation rather than adaptation.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not report systematic search, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or quality appraisal; many country statuses in Table 1 are self-declared or marked N/A, limiting independent verification.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
