Detailed explanation-1: -We can reduce emissions by shifting to alternative technologies that either don’t need gasoline (like bicycles and electric cars) or don’t need as much (like hybrid cars). Using public transportation, carpooling, biking, and walking leads to fewer vehicles on the road and less greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Use Renewable energy And power plants are the single largest source of heat-trapping gas. Fortunately, the use of alternative energy sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro energy, is gaining increased support worldwide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere – from the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation – lead to a heating of the earth’s surface. This in turn leads to impacts such as shifting seasons, rising sea-levels, disappearing Arctic sea-ice and more intense heat waves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sustainable heating in greenhouse horticulture. Reducing methane emissions from livestock through improved processing of manure. Carbon storage in soil and vegetation through pilot programmes for climate-friendly land use. Incentives for climate-friendly food consumption and reducing food waste.
