To be net-zero, we must first reduce all possible emissions and compensate any residual emissions with carbon removal projects.  On the road to net-zero emissions, USIA set short-term and long-term science-based targets. We take action to mitigate emissions within and beyond value chains and neutralise residual emissions. This is only possible through the permanent removal and storage of carbon from the atmosphere. #ItsPossible
