It is considered a successful approach for addressing climate change by producing new, high-yielding, resistant to diseases and weather-adaptive cereals as a substitute in food production. Gene editing, genetic engineering, MAS, and GMO solutions have the potential to allow us to adopt crop ...
The built environment is an asset of great value that must be preserved and continues to grow in harmony with nature in the coming decades. Climate change is a reality through multiple events: floodings, sea-level rise, heat waves, droughts, and storms are some examples. These disasters have...
The article discusses the action plan of national governments, international coalitions, and global coordinations to focus on multilateral agreements to slow carbon dioxide emissions and mitigate climate change. It notes that these global cooperation and proactive efforts are important in reducing potential...
This scalable framework may provide policymakers, government agencies, and landowners anywhere with guidance on the magnitude, efficacy, and economics of nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change. Results Cumulative emissions reduction potential We use 2015 as the baseline reference year for total...
US Congress, state legislators, and policy analysts at international, federal, and state levels must not only appreciate this fact but also recognize that the sustainable management of forests can, to a substantial degree, mitigate the dire effects of atmospheric pollution and global climate change....
as climate change worsens, we are seeing huge losses in coastal wetlands. Human activities such as urban and rural development, agriculture, and silviculture are contributing to the loss of these vital wetlands. Not only that, but natural processes such as climate change are yet another factor in...
Natural climate solutions can mitigate climate change in the near-term, during a climate-critical window. Yet, persistent misunderstandings about what constitutes a natural climate solution generate unnecessary confusion and controversy, thereby delaying critical mitigation action. Based on a review of scie...
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are a necessary measure to mitigate the worst-case climate change scenarios and adapt to the forces of climate change. NBS often provide environmental, societal, and economic cobenefits. Although most corporate approaches focus on projects that generate carbon ...
Unlike proposed carbon capture and storage technology, these nature-based solutions to mitigate carbon emissions can be deployed right away, are relatively low cost, and provide a range of co-benefits, the study concludes. Content continues below ...
Steps Homeowners Can Take to Mitigate Climate Change Risks Climate change is a major risk for homeowners, but you don't have to wait for a storm or other weather event to damage your home. There are steps you can take to limit your risk. ...
