Climate Action

Climate action refers to measures taken to address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to its impacts. It includes policies, strategies, research, technologies, and initiatives undertaken by governments, businesses, scientific institutions, non-governmental organizations, communities, and individuals. Climate action may involve energy transition, emissions reduction targets, resilience planning, nature-based solutions, public engagement, and regulatory frameworks aimed at limiting global warming and managing climate-related risks.
