In line with the Paris Agreement of reducing carbon emissions and also supporting the global efforts to raise ambitions through the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), are developing countries ready for the realisation of the Net-Zero transition? For the majority of developing countries, realising the Net-Zero carbon budget is going to be a tough process and not just an event. Although setting targets has never been a point of success globally, many countries have to be seen either talking about the targets or actually doing it anyhow, some with the aim of accessing international green funding. In this regard, everybody wants to be seen to be relevant and seemingly conforming. Being able to control greenhouse gas emissions and live low carbon lives would mean some countries will have to forgo certain necessities and make tough choices. Many countries would falter in this regard, as they have not been known for making tough decisions for the good of their people and economies, but only for making tough decisions for oppressing their people. Indeed, it would be significant for developing countries to be seen engaging their communities on anti-emission pathways in setting out carbon budgets, which would include evidence-based initiatives for accountability purposes, bottom-up approaches that are sufficiently engaging, tolerant and accommodating, or whole economy approaches, among others, would be most appropriate. All these are ingredient pathways towards the realisation of low-carbon economies or rather Net-Zero energy transitions. Deep public engagement is required for companies, businesses and communities to work strongly towards these resilient and mitigation efforts. Multi-stakeholder and sectoral approaches would be required to foreground the activities of the energy-power sector, buildings, industries, transport, agriculture and waste management, among others. These sectors are well known for accelerating carbon emissions and greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. In order to manage these sectors, and make them sufficiently compliant, issues like economic impacts of the country, energy poverty and health issues like COVID-19 would have to be addressed for a smooth transition to take place. Many developing nations are of the view that they cannot realise the Net-Zero energy transition without funding from the International Climate Finance/Green Climate Fund. This notion would always incapacitate them as not being able to participate in climate action strategies with any foreign interventions. Obviously this takes out the overall steam and intrinsic motivation which locals might have in attempts to fight the impact of climate change. Of course, technical assistance to developing countries is required due to their lack of capacities to fight the impact of climate change, but that doesn’t stop them from making their own local arrangements or home-grown solutions towards addressing climate change. This is important in reducing the entrenched begging syndrome which has mostly left local communities
