Net Zero and The Green Economy

As countries around the world move to the goal of net zero emissions by 2050
What does this mean? How are we going to keep a focus on this long-term goal, despite the fact that there will be many political ups and downs on the pathway.
Many changes will have an impact on the govt agenda, as well as economic; domestic; and international events that can get a hold of govt, how to we stay the course? What can public service do to provide support? There is not one decision-maker on this journey, what role does industry play? How are different regional economies affected by this? What will we do to help work forces that are affected, how do we help them retool?
