What is a Climate Solution?
"A climate solution is a product or service that meets a need in society, contributes to the reduction of GHG emissions, and has significantly lower emissions than business-as-usual options. Production and consumption of climate solutions is compatible with the global 1.5°C ambition, and will accelerate the transition towards a net zero carbon economy."
