Abstract
Leading European cities race to reach
net-zero emissions, but residual emissions
are tied to easier-to-abate sectors and
temporary, land-intensive carbon removal
for compensation. To keep climate neutrality
credible and fair, policy must tighten
expectations on cutting emissions and set
clear rules for carbon removal and credits.
