👉 In #Japan, perceived realism of #net-zero scenarios hinges on #economic costs, while desirability is shaped by #environmental and lifestyle impacts. A study is a reminder that public #climate attitudes are complex, layered, and deeply pragmatic.

🏢Data from #Chinese cities, combined with modeling, paints an actionable picture of the #building #CO2 emissions. Without intervention, emissions could rise by 2060. #Zero-carbon buildings cut annual CO₂, though it requires $446.8B in investment.
