klimatmitigation
Klimatmitigation, or climate mitigation, refers to the set of actions and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing sinks to limit human-caused climate change. It encompasses both reducing emissions and removing CO2 and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The objective is to limit warming to targets such as well below 2°C relative to pre-industrial levels, with a goal toward 1.5°C where feasible, as established in international agreements.
Mitigation strategies span energy systems, transport, industry, buildings, agriculture, forestry, and land use. They include improving
Policy tools include carbon pricing, emissions trading, performance standards, subsidies for low-emission technologies, and public investment
Measurement relies on greenhouse gas inventories and modeling of emissions scenarios. Climate mitigation also involves evaluating
Mitigation is typically pursued alongside adaptation, since reducing exposure to climate risks complements efforts to limit
