Proposals for National Net Zero Transition and Corporate Supply Chain Management Strategies

As human activity causes global warming, regional climate systems have undergone unprecedented changes for thousands of years. Most of the world's population will be threatened by deadly heat waves, drought-induced water crises, and frequent heavy rains and storms. To avoid extreme climate impacts, global greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut in half by 2030 and reach net zero by mid-century. Net zero emissions are when greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere are balanced by anthropogenic removals. According to a recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climate change will increase in all regions in the coming decades. Global warming of 1.5°C will result in more heat waves, longer warm seasons, and shorter cold seasons. Extreme high temperatures of up to 2°C will more often reach the threshold of tolerance for agriculture and health. The future course of the climate is still subjected to human actions. This paper introduces the correlation between corporate sustainability and net-zero transformation, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and supply chain carbon management, the strategy setting of corporate net-zero transition, and finally proposes strategies for domestic corporate net-zero transition and new challenges in the supply chain.
