Solar energy and wind power have the greatest potential for mitigation at the lowest cost compared to a range of other options. These pledges are in line with international negotiations to limit warming. : 12 Governments and companies have pledged to reduce emissions to prevent dangerous climate change. The name for these processes is carbon sequestration. This can be done by enlarging forests, restoring wetlands and using other natural and technical processes. It is possible to remove carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere. These are transitioning to sustainable energy sources, conserving energy, and increasing efficiency. There are various ways that mitigation can reduce emissions. The recent rise in global temperature is mostly due to emissions from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. This action either reduces emissions of greenhouse gases or removes those gases from the atmosphere. Various aspects of climate change mitigation: Renewable energy – solar and wind power – in England, electrified public transport in France, a reforestation project in Haiti to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and an example of a plant-based meal.Ĭlimate change mitigation is action to limit climate change.
