A shift towards plant-based diets would help to mitigate climate change. [112] In particular, reducing meat consumption would help to reduce methane emissions. [ 113 ] If high-income nations switched to a plant-based diet, vast amounts of land used for animal agriculture could be allowed to return to their natural state .
The report showed warming of 2 °C would have much more severe impacts than 1.5 °C. In other words: every bit of warming matters. SR15 had an unprecedented impact for an IPCC report in the media and with the public. [76] It put the 1.5 °C target at the center of climate activism. [77]
The inscription '1.5 °' at Neustädter Elbufer in Dresden for adhering to the 1.5-degree target by Fridays for Future (2022). The 1.5-degree target (also known as the 1.5-degree limit) is the climate goal of limiting the man-made global temperature increase caused by the greenhouse effect to 1.5 °C on a 20-year average, calculated from the beginning of industrialization to the year 2100.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a special report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) on May 9, 2011. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The report developed under the leadership of Ottmar Edenhofer evaluates the global potential for using renewable energy to mitigate climate change .
Environmental mitigation refers to the process by which measures to avoid, minimise, or compensate for adverse impacts on the environment are applied. [1] In the context of planning processes like Environmental Impact Assessments, this process is often guided by applying conceptual frameworks like the "mitigation hierarchy" or "mitigation sequence". [2]
Another 99 megawatt battery energy storage plant has been proposed by PG&E in Nipomo, and there are proposals for 600 to 1,500 megawatts of pumped water storage within various areas of the county ...
Schematic with five proposed methods for solar radiation modification technologies. Solar radiation modification (SRM) (or solar radiation management or solar geoengineering), is a group of large-scale approaches to limit global warming by increasing the amount of sunlight (solar radiation) that is reflected away from Earth and back to space.
Also called global warming denial. climate change feedback A natural phenomenon that may increase or decrease the warming that eventually results from a change in radiative forcing. climate change mitigation approaches to limit global warming, primarily by the substitution of fossil fuels with low-carbon sources of energy climate commitment How much future warming is "committed", even if ...
