TermCoord:
Carbon neutrality is succeeded when there is a balance between emitting and absorbing carbon to and from the atmosphere. Carbon sinks help in preserving this balance. Carbon sinks are the systems that absorb more carbon than they emit. The main natural carbon sinks are soil, forests and oceans. According to estimations, natural sinks remove between 9.5 and 11 Gt of CO2 per year when the annual global CO2 emissions reached 37.1 Gt in 2017. Therefore, one way to become carbon neutral is by protecting all these natural sinks.
Example sentences:
Apple is providing detail on its approach to carbon neutrality with a roadmap for other companies, as industries look to reduce their impact on climate change. (Apple)
"Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 requires unprecedented political will and cooperation – but it's not impossible." Climate policy expert Farhana Yamin explains what becoming 'carbon neutral' means and how we can make it happen. (The Elders)
Another way to reduce emissions and to pursue carbon neutrality is to offset emissions made in one sector by reducing them somewhere else. This can be done through investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency or other clean, low-carbon technologies. (EuroParl)

karbonsemlegesség
Definition from
Green server:
A karbonsemlegesség rendszerint azt jelenti, hogy egy cég a tevékenységei során vagy egy egyén az életmódja során a lehető legkisebbre csökkenti karbonlábnyomát, majd a maradék karbonkibocsátásokat kiegyenlíti. Karbonsemleges lehet egy termék, szolgáltatás, rendezvény stb. is azáltal, hogy a kapcsolódó karbonkibocsátásokat ellentételezzük.
Example sentences:
A karbonsemlegesség lényege, hogy valamely gazdasági tevékenység vagy egy egyén életmódja olyan, hogy a legminimálisabbra csökkenti a szén-dioxid kibocsátását, de a karbonkibocsátást is kiegyenlíti. (Földrajzmagazin)
