Media Workshop - Options for Mitigation: What can be done to reduce GHG emissions?
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes239 views
The document summarizes key findings from the Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report on mitigating climate change. It finds that greenhouse gas emissions have accelerated in the last decade, driven by CO2 from fossil fuel combustion. To stabilize the climate, emissions would need to be reduced by 40-70% through changes throughout the economy, including reducing energy demand and decarbonizing energy supply. Substantial emissions reductions would also require large changes in investment patterns. Climate change mitigation can provide benefits like improved health and energy security.
