Detailed explanation-1: -For example, improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy, increases in wind and solar power, biofuels from organic waste, setting a price on carbon, and protecting forests are all potent ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases trapping heat on the planet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some of the most promising ways to mitigate climate change are what we call “natural climate solutions”: the conservation, restoration, and improved management of land, in order to increase carbon storage or avoid greenhouse-gas emissions in landscapes worldwide.
Detailed explanation-3: -Limit your use of air conditioning and intensive city driving. Don’t weigh down your car – limit extra things when packing your car. Carpool when possible – this splits car emissions and lowers the number of cars on the road, making travel more efficient all around. Fly less if possible.
Detailed explanation-4: -Actions such as moving to higher ground to avoid rising sea levels, planting new crops that will thrive under new climate conditions, or using new building technologies represent adaptation strategies.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ending Our Reliance on Fossil Fuels. Greater Energy Efficiency. Renewable Energy. Sustainable Transportation. Sustainable Buildings. Better Forestry Management and Sustainable Agriculture. Conservation-Based Solutions. Industrial Solutions. More items •13-Dec-2022
