Paris Agreement
GHG EMISSIONS MITIGATION, ADAPTATION & FINANCE TAKES EFFECT
195 signatory nations agree to the UN Convention on Climate Change in Le Bourget, France. It went into effect on 4th November, 2016, and seeks reductions in global GHG emissions.

Project Definition
GHG emissions need to be balanced by actual GHG sequestration.
All terrestrial carbon sinks on the planet all forests and vegetation, only absorb 30% of all human CO2 emissions, with 30-40% absorbed by oceans, and 30-40% remaining in the atmosphere and not being absorbed by the planet. Therefore, in addition to emission reduction, we urgently MUST increase the sequestration capacity of the planet. Study group established in YASAVA, to support the goal of double CO2 balance for AÏZEN program. Project named internally as OXÏ-ZEN.
