It is an imperative because all the nations have signed for net carbon zero. Yet, we have brought chaos to the natural world: poisoning our planet with pollution, wiping out species and ecosystems with abandon, and destabilising our climate with greenhouse gas emissions. The same pressure is on all the OEMs. There is no choice.
