Climate Change Mitigation
Definition of Climate Change Mitigation as it relates to Environment, Wildlife Protection
Climate Change Mitigation: A concerted effort to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide and methane, in order to slow down global warming and its impacts on the environment and wildlife. This involves transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, conserving forests and other natural carbon sinks, promoting sustainable agriculture and land use practices, and encouraging behavioral changes towards more sustainable lifestyles. The goal is to limit the increase in global temperatures to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, as agreed upon by nearly 200 countries in the Paris Agreement.
