Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Technologies

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere.

Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary cause of climate change.

Solar energy is a renewable energy source that does not produce greenhouse gases.

Carbon capture and storage is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to prevent it from contributing to climate change.

Building seawalls to protect coastal communities from rising sea levels is an example of a climate adaptation strategy.

Climate mitigation refers to the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to slow the pace of climate change.

Purchasing carbon credits is a type of carbon offset that allows individuals or organizations to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions by supporting projects that reduce emissions elsewhere.

Climate adaptation refers to the process of preparing for and responding to the impacts of climate change.

Carbon capture and storage is an example of a climate mitigation technology that helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate adaptation refers to the process of reducing the vulnerability of communities and ecosystems to the impacts of climate change.
