It will be quicker to reach net-zero emissions for CO 2 alone rather than CO 2 plus other greenhouse gases like methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases. [22] The net-zero target date for non-CO 2 emissions is later partly because modellers assume that some of these emissions such as methane from farming are harder to phase out. [22]

[1] [7] Meeting the Paris target of 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) is possible but would require "deep emissions reductions", "rapid", [7] "far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society". [8] In order to achieve the 1.5 °C target, CO 2 emissions must decline by 45% (relative to 2010 levels) by 2030, reaching net zero by around 2050
