summer months are not the sole symptoms of a rapidly altering climate. Turns out, there will be more unfortunate climate change consequences to come in the near future. Nowhere will be spared from these changes, but if we heed them now, we might be able to mitigate the impending ...
Experts address the question: "How can sustainable land management contribute to mitigating climate change?" S ustainable Land Management (SLM) is perhaps one of the best measures available to mitigate climate change in the Himalayan ecosystem. Climate change in this region can result in flash ...
Raising awareness and nudging (and shaming) policymakers is necessary, but not sufficient to avert what UN Secretary-GeneralAntónio Guterreshas referred to as a “climate catastrophe.” Climate-change mitigation must be pursued as a global public good. The problem is that such goods are plagued b...
This paper has analyzed the strategic interaction between two principal policy options in responding to global climate change. The tool of analysis is a simple game-theoretic framework in which identical and selfish regions independently decide either to mitigate and/or to adapt. We take into account...
A skilled workforce is required to drive climate adaptation strategies at both a government and private sector level, while educated populations are more likely to support decisive action on climate change because they have a greater understanding of the challenges faced. ...
and then plan how to mitigate the direct effects of climate change, as well as indirect factors like access to energy, food, and water. Insufficient capacity to deal with the effects may be due to lack of education, limited access to basic infrastructure, financial or employment constra...
However, it has been argued that focusing on individuals’ efforts to mitigate climate change removes the focus from large organisations that produce the vast majority of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Climate change poses significant risks to the environment and humanity and will increa...
Most campaigners try to mitigate this by also offering people easy things they can do: the "just change your light bulbs" approach. However, most people intuitively understand that an enormous problem cannot be solved by a tiny solution; that changing your light bulbs will not save a single ...
The underestimated potential of solar energy to mitigate climate change This preface introduces the special section on the assessment of wind and solar in global low-carbon energy scenarios. The special section documents the results of a coordinated research effort to improve the representation of varia...
An analysis of what it would take to mitigate climate change offers a stark reality check, and a roadmap to help business leaders and policymakers understand the challenges and choices ahead.
