On the demand side, limiting food waste is an effective way to reduce food emissions. Changes to a diet less reliant on animal products such as plant-based diets are also effective. [10]: XXV With 21% of global methane emissions, cattle are a major driver of global warming.
This is a list of climate change initiatives of international, national, regional, and local political initiatives to take action on climate change (global warming). A Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a set of strategies intended to guide efforts for climate change mitigation. [1]
Emissions of short-lived gases such as methane do not accumulate in the climate system in the same way that CO 2 does. Therefore there is no need to reduce them to zero to halt global warming. This is because reductions in emissions of short-lived gases cause an immediate decline in the resulting radiative forcing.
“Reducing human-caused methane emissions is one of the fastest, most cost-effective strategies to reduce the rate of warming and contribute to global efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C ...
As of 2021 the remaining carbon budget for a 50-50 chance of staying below 1.5 degrees of warming is 460 bn tonnes of CO 2 or 11 + 1 ⁄ 2 years at 2020 emission rates. [13] Global average greenhouse gas per person per year in the late 2010s was about 7 tonnes [14] – including 0.7 tonnes CO 2 eq food, 1.1 tonnes from the home, and 0.8 tonnes from transport. [15]
The world needs to get to zero emissions, not just reduce. [3] The world needs to accelerate the development of technology that helps to resolve the climate change problem. [4] The world needs to reduce the additional cost of green energy, which he refers to as the "green premium". [5]
