Carbon neutrality refers to the “balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases” (cf. Paris Agreement).

It implies defining a vision at a time horizon both far enough to allow ambition, and close enough to allow its translation in operational measures, bearing in mind the lifetime of current decisions. In this vision, each actor should define its place in a carbon-neutral world, depending on its respective constraints, endowments, potentials, and not only (or necessarily) aim for neutrality at their own activities’ level.
