Green Building Practices
Designing, constructing, and operating buildings to use resources more efficiently, which minimizes waste and reduces energy consumption.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Improving the efficiency of energy use in all sectors, which leads to lower energy consumption and reduced emission of greenhouse gases.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Technologies that capture carbon dioxide emissions from sources like power plants and industrial processes, storing it underground to prevent it from entering the atmosphere.
Reforestation and Afforestation
Planting new forests and restoring lost ones, which increases carbon sequestration, helping to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Consumer Behavior Change
Promoting sustainable consumption patterns among individuals, such as reducing waste, eating a plant-based diet, and choosing products with lower carbon footprints.
Urban Planning: Sustainable Cities
Designing cities in ways that reduce emissions, like enhancing walkability, bikability, and green spaces, and optimizing urban density to reduce energy use.
Promotion of Public Transportation
Encouraging the use of public transit systems to reduce vehicle emissions by decreasing the dependence on personal vehicles.
Climate-Friendly Agricultural Practices
Adopting agricultural techniques that reduce emissions and increase carbon storage, such as no-till farming, organic agriculture, and silvopasture.
Market-Based Mechanisms
Implementing policies like carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems that incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through economic signals.
Renewable Energy Adoption
Replacing fossil fuel energy sources with renewable sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
