description As the climate crisis worsens, governments around the world are calling for carbon-neutral societies and urging individuals to take responsibility for their climate-related behavior. However, despite growing awareness of the urgent need for climate action, meaningful change remains limited at the governmental and individual levels. This book presents bold and innovative approaches to addressing climate change, from social visions and sustainable business models to transformative shifts in environmental policy, law, and markets aimed at driving global progress toward net-zero emissions. The book covers topics ranging from everyday choices, such as meat consumption, to major systemic changes, such as the adoption of renewable energy. It offers a comprehensive look at how individuals, businesses, and governments can disrupt the current inertia surrounding climate behavior. By analyzing the cultural, economic, and political forces that shape environmental outcomes, the book provides a clear roadmap to carbon neutrality. It is a valuable resource for climate researchers, sustainability practitioners, and policymakers, while also inspiring engineers and technology developers to create the tools needed for a greener, more sustainable future. This is an open access book.
