CO\u2082 emissions<\/strong> per unit of GDP, also known as global carbon intensity, fell by 0.5% in 2021. This is a significant figure but still far from sufficient if the aim is to reduce global temperatures by 1.5\u00b0C in the coming years. In fact, to reach the value included in the Paris Agreement, it would have to rise to 15.2 %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, more and more efforts are being made to achieve this. For example, the United Kingdom has been the first country to commit by law to have neutral emissions in 2050<\/a>. Furthermore, the 27 members of the EU, like the United States, want to be climate neutral by 2030 which means that, by then, emissions should be reduced by 55%. In order to achieve this, it is essential for SMEs and micro-SMEs to measure their carbon footprint and establish sustainability strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
