Explore action to enhance net zero emission 2050: Research trends and the way forward 13th SDGs?

Abstract

Net zero emissions are an important step that must be strived to achieve the 13th SDGs goal. This research aims to explore progress in achieving net zero emissions. The systematic review method (PRISMA) is integrated with a bibliometric analysis model with Scopus data sources. The analysis results show that four steps such as decarbonization, renewable energy transition, transportation electrification, and reforestation have proven effective in achieving net zero emissions by 2050. These findings highlight the big challenges in achieving net zero emissions through these four steps, especially in the technology sector. It is recommended that further research be more exploratory in studying technology in achieving net zero emissions, especially in exploring the potential for vehicle electrification and technology in the use of renewable energy sources. The implications of this research can provide support in efforts to achieve environmental balance and can be used as a basis for thinking for further research.
