With reference to 'NET - ZERO' goal for 2050, which of the following statements is/are correct ?
1. It means that a country will bring down its emissions to zero by 2050.
2. It means that a country's emissions will be compensated by absorption and removal of green house gases from the atmosphere.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
Codes :

Net Zero (or carbon neutrality) does not mean that a country will reduce its actual emissions to zero. Instead, it refers to a state where any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by human activity are balanced by an equivalent amount of GHG removal from the atmosphere. This removal can occur through natural carbon sinks like forests and oceans or through technological methods like Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

• Statement 1 is incorrect: Bringing emissions down to absolute zero is known as 'Gross Zero'. Net Zero allows for residual emissions as long as they are offset.
• Statement 2 is correct: This accurately describes the concept of balancing emissions with absorption and removal to achieve a net-neutral impact on the climate.

The IPCC and the Paris Agreement emphasize achieving global net-zero emissions by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
