Net Zero strategy requires balancing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions with removals to achieve a 1.5°C climate ambition, relying on science-based targets (SBTi) to halve emissions by 2030 and reach near-zero by 2050.

Net Zero strategy requires balancing anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions with removals to achieve a 1.5°C climate ambition, relying on science-based targets (SBTi) to halve emissions by 2030 and reach near-zero by 2050. Effective leadership is crucial to embed sustainability, foster a low-carbon culture, and drive innovation. 
Key Components of a Net Zero Strategy

Baseline Setting: -
Measuring current emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) to establish a baseline.
Science-Based Targets (SBTi):-
 Committing to near-term (5-10 years) and long-term (by 2050) emission reduction targets.
Decarbonization Roadmap:-
 Implementing energy efficiency, transitioning to renewable energy, and reducing Scope 3 supply chain emissions.
Neutralization:-
 Using carbon removal solutions (e.g., carbon capture, afforestation) for unavoidable residual emissions.
Transparency:-
 Regular reporting on progress and accountability to stakeholders. 
Sustainability Leadership Requirements
Visionary Mindset: -
Shifting from short-term growth to long-term sustainable, resilient models.
Cultural Transformation: -
Embedding sustainability into the organization's DNA and empowering employees.
Collaboration: -
Working across functions and industry partners to drive systemic change.
Actionable Goals: -
Translating high-level commitments into tangible, measurable operational goals. 
Common Frameworks and Standards
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi): -
The standard for setting corporate climate targets.
ISO Net Zero Guidelines: -
International standards for net-zero, carbon neutrality, and climate neutrality.
Net Zero Banking Alliance: -
Industry-specific guidance for finance.

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
