Climate neutrality in developing countries is a key challenge while sustainable development is an essential objective, calling for all hands to be on deck to halt climate disruption. In this manuscript we explore a range of perspectives on how to enable the transition, focusing in particular on sustainable and resilient land management including agriculture; and increased uptake of what are now mainstream renewable energy options (though these will be only part of the solution); agency-led community engagement as well deployment by business. Sustainable land management (SLM) practices like agroforestry, or soil conservation can greatly enhance carbon sequestration and make the landscape climate-resilient. The sharp switch to renewable fuels is also required in part, as it helps lessen greenhouse gas emissions and encourage policies that “make investments [in green energy] more attractive”. I also argue for improved international and technological support to help developing countries meet their climate goals. This paper illustrates how different mechanisms can be exploited to ensure that developing countries—enveloped in their diverse socio-economic patterns—can move towards a carbon neutral future. The manuscript highlights that in the long run, climate neutrality should be employed as a policy advocacy discourse peering from an environmental stewardship and sustainable development standpoint specifically for policymakers and stakeholders.
