Climate Change Research and Innovation: Advancing Scientific Knowledge

The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. The goal is to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.

The industry sector, including manufacturing and construction, is the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, followed by transportation, agriculture, and residential and commercial buildings.

Climate Change refers to the long-term alteration of Earth's climate patterns, including changes in temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns.

Climatology is the scientific field that examines the Earth's climate system, including its long-term patterns, variations, and interactions with human activities.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) involves capturing carbon dioxide from industrial sources or the atmosphere and storing it underground or in geological formations.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic cells.

Net Zero Emissions refers to achieving a balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced and greenhouse gas removals, resulting in no net impact on the atmosphere.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the international body responsible for coordinating global action to address climate change.

Global Warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature primarily caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
