BECCS involves producing energy from biomass and capturing and storing the resulting CO2. This can result in net negative emissions, offering a powerful tool for climate change mitigation.

Upgrading buildings, appliances, and industrial processes to be more energy-efficient decreases the amount of energy needed, reducing emissions and mitigating climate change.

Implementing policies that alter consumer demand for energy-intensive goods and services can lead to lower energy consumption and emissions, thereby mitigating climate change.

Designing cities to minimize travel distances, promote public transport, and reduce sprawl lowers emissions from transportation and contributes to climate change mitigation.

Agricultural techniques that increase productivity, resilience, and carbon sequestration while decreasing emissions, like crop rotation, cover cropping, and reduced tillage, contribute to climate change mitigation.

Harvesting energy from ocean waves and tides offers a renewable energy source that reduces dependence on fossil fuels and helps mitigate climate change.

Planting new forests (afforestation) and restoring lost forests (reforestation) absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, helping to mitigate climate change by reducing atmospheric carbon levels.

Implementing technologies and processes that reduce emissions from industrial activities, such as scrubbers and filters, directly decreases greenhouse gases and mitigates climate change.

Harnessing energy from renewable sources such as wind, solar, and hydro reduces the reliance on fossil fuels, cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.

Integrating trees into agricultural land can increase carbon sequestration, enhance biodiversity, and improve soil quality, all of which contribute to mitigating climate change.

Developing efficient energy storage, like batteries and pumped hydro, enables a greater use of renewable energy by balancing supply and demand, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change.

Altering livestock diets, improving manure management, and better breeding practices can reduce methane emissions from ruminants and contribute to climate change mitigation.

Moving towards electric vehicles, improving public transit, and investing in cycling infrastructure reduce emissions from the transport sector, thus mitigating climate change.

Installing plant-covered roofs on buildings reduces energy consumption by improving insulation, helps absorb CO2, and mitigates the urban heat island effect, all contributing to climate change mitigation.

Geoengineering techniques like solar radiation management and ocean fertilization are proposed to deliberately alter the Earth's climate system, potentially mitigating climate change. However, they come with significant risks and uncertainties.

Capturing methane from landfills, wastewater treatment, and agricultural practices for use as a fuel reduces methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, helping to mitigate climate change.

Converting organic waste into biogas through anaerobic digestion reduces landfill methane emissions and provides renewable energy, helping to mitigate climate change.

CCS involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and other industrial sources, and storing it underground in geological formations. It mitigates climate change by preventing large amounts of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

Nuclear power generates electricity with minimal greenhouse gas emissions during operation, thus providing a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels and mitigating climate change.
