Diplomats at COP28 are discussing a range of ways to get to net zero. But not all solutions are equal.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2022 report, Mitigation of Climate Change, makes it clear that no one technology can reduce humanity’s carbon emissions enough to get to net zero.

Instead, the IPCC evaluated a suite of technologies with decarbonisation potential.

Here, 360info visualises those solutions, grouping them by cost to separate cheaper — or even cost-saving — solutions from more expensive ones. However, many solutions have other considerations, like technological or ecological problems.

Solutions with bigger bubbles represent more potential to reduce greenhouse gases.
