What is ECO in ecosystem?
The prefix eco (often used with a hyphen) refers to ecology or to the environment: Because population is concentrated in urban settings, cities have large eco-footprints (ecological footprints). This product is eco-friendly (safe for the environment).
Net Zero Target
In 2019, the UK Government and the devolved administrations committed to the Net Zero target (Carbon Neutral Britain) as recommended by the Climate Change Committee. Reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions requires extensive changes across the economy, but the foundations are in place. Major infrastructure decisions need to be made in the near future and quickly implemented. These changes are unprecedented in their overall scale, but large-scale transitions have been achieved successfully in the UK before, such as the natural gas switchover in the 1970s or the switch to digital broadcasting in the 2000s.
Being More Eco In Work
An alarming 83% of workers report their workplaces are not doing enough to address climate change. This is especially concerning considering the vast numbers of changes which are needed in order to reach net-zero greenhouse gases by 2050 and keep the global temperature below 1.5 °C.
Being More Eco In Schools
New plans announced by Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi on Thursday 21 April detailed how the UK education sector is to become a world leader in climate change by 2030. One method of this is the introduction of an exciting new GCSE in natural history to be introduced by September 2025
