      Our approach to Net Zero is based on a theoretical construct that aims to go beyond the limitations of current frameworks and reflect the true complexity of organizational transitions.<\/span><\/h5>\n
      The concept of Net Zero strategy is designed as a set of measures applicable at the organizational level that not only enable carbon neutrality to be achieved by 2050, but also anticipate the paradoxical dynamics that may arise so that they can be avoided (e.g., displacement of impacts or rebound effects).<\/span><\/h5>\n
      By developing decision-making support approaches that take into account both the imperative to improve the environmental performance of organizations and the tensions (dilemmas, paradoxes) that inevitably arise, the Net Zero Chair aims to support responsible innovation in engineering and management, both in practice and in research.<\/span><\/h5>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\n
      The imbalance between the released emissions into the environment by humans and the absorbed amount by natural sinks results in a net accumulation of emissions.

      For example, the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere is the main driver of anthropogenic climate
