The world is getting warmer.Human activity is the main reason for this,the United Nations (UN) said.For example,people use fossil fuels (化石燃料)like coal and oil.They give off a lot of greenhouse gases (温室气体)(especially CO 2) into the air.This warms the earth.

(C) Itwill also achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和)before 2060,Xinhua reported.
Being carbon neutral means taking away the same amount of CO 2from the air as you put into it.It was set as an initiative (倡议)by the UN in 2015.
There are two ways to get to carbon neutrality.One is to plant more trees to absorb (吸收) the emitted (排放的)CO 2.The other is to stop CO 2emissions altogether by using non﹣fossil(非化石)fuels.Examples of these fuels include electricity and wind energy.
