Insights Why SNC-Lavalin is driving full speed ahead on the road to Net Zero

What is Net Zero?

To achieve net-zero there must be a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and/or any ongoing emissions are to be balanced by removals. The 2015 Paris Agreement emphasises the necessity for net-zero, requiring countries to ‘achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century’.

From moving to a low carbon economy to adopting a sustainable business strategy, our approach at AtkinsRéalis means we can adapt to and anticipate global changes, and support our clients in delivering long-term, sustainable results.

Achieving Net-Zero in APAC

The wider APAC region, encompassing many countries, time zones, and communities, has already been experiencing the devastating impacts of climate change. In India, the seventh most vulnerable country with respect to climate extremes, a spike in weather events including unprecedented rain and flooding triggered environmentalists to call on the government to prioritise climate-proof infrastructure and buildings.

Sustainable construction is a viable option to help achieve net zero and solve other issues in APAC. In Hong Kong, for example, it is expected to help the city’s housing crisis. Green building is being increasingly used in Hong Kong it drives key energy efficiencies through the integration of green technologies, whilst simultaneously reducing carbon.
