Of the many issues facing humanity today, the climate crisis is the most urgent. Greenhouse gas and particularly carbon emissions impact every nation, city, business, family and individual, and as Australians we know the time to take action with expediency is now. With that spirit in mind, Australian state and territory governments are looking for new ways to hit emissions targets sooner, while Salesforce<\/a> is leading the way on several fronts to accelerate the world\u2019s businesses to net zero. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those new to the concept of net zero, it essentially involves the fulfilling of two simultaneous tasks: reducing the carbon released into the atmosphere, while also taking carbon out of it, so that our actions even out to equal no (or a \u2018zero\u2019) carbon footprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In South Australia, the initial target is to see at least a 50% reduction in 2005 emissions levels by 2030, and like most other states and territories, net zero emissions by 2050. Thanks to the state government\u2019s new agreement with Salesforce and adoption of Net Zero Cloud<\/a>, the effort to reach those targets now has extra support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
