Editorial: Advancing Global Pathways to Net Zero

Abstract

The accelerating impacts of climate change and the growing urgency to limit global warming have placed decarbonisation at the centre of international policy, technological innovation, and economic transformation. Achieving a net zero carbon future requires coordinated action across energy systems, industrial processes, transport, urban infrastructure, and societal behaviour. Global Decarbonisation (GD) is established as an international peer reviewed open access journal dedicated to advancing research that supports this transition. This editorial outlines the journal’s scope, interdisciplinary focus, and commitment to publishing high quality research that contributes to the development of practical pathways toward a low carbon global economy.
