Climate Change Solution Alternatives

Solution alternatives to deal with climate change can be grouped into two broad categories that complement each other: mitigation and adaptation.

Mitigation consists of strategies to reduce “greenhouse gases”, which are the main cause of climate change. Adaptation includes strategies that reduce the risks arising from climate change.

Some of the most important strategies are:

• Protect the globally significant carbon sinks in healthy natural ecosystems.
• Avoid emissions from environmental degradation.
• Regenerating and Restoring ecosystems (natural and assisted).
