Our Common Home: What is 'net zero'?

---

What does net zero mean and is it something that we can achieve? Our short explainer film, designed for children, shows that by working together we can help build a future where the UK no longer contributes to climate change.

We know that climate change is already happening, and we know that it is the poorest and most vulnerable across the globe who will be hit hardest, and fastest. Our common home, and lives across the globe, face an unprecedented crisis in which we all play a role. In order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change we need to make significant changes, and we need to go further, faster.

CAFOD stands for the Catholic Agency For Overseas Development. We are an international development charity and the official aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

We stand beside people living in poverty – whatever their religion or culture. Through local Church partners, we help people directly in their own communities, and campaign for global justice, so that everyone can reach their full potential.

CAFOD works in communities across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
