Climate Change Mitigation

Climate change mitigation (or decarbonisation) refers to actions aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change. Strategies include conserving energy, replacing fossil fuels with clean sources, adjusting land use, and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with the goal of limiting global warming.
