DECARBONISATION – Decarbonisation alludes to the actions whose objective is to develop economies with less CO2 emissions. Instead, it should contrive to eliminate the consumption of fossil fuels whose molecular structure is carbon-based and whose combustion releases pollutants–which affect people’s health and ecosystems–, such as GHG provoking warming near the Earth’s surface and impacting on the climate globally. CO2 is the most abundant gas originated by human activities.
