What is the best way to approach climate change?

Responding to climate change involves two possible approaches: reducing and stabilizing the levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (“mitigation”) and/or adapting to the climate change already in the pipeline (“adaptation”).

How do we tackle the problem of climate change?

Climate change prevention

  1. Renewable energies. Changing our main energy sources to clean and renewable energy.
  2. Sustainable transportation.
  3. Air pollution prevention.
  4. Waste Management & recycling.
  5. Sea and Ocean preservation.
  6. Circular economy.

What is the biggest challenge to tackling climate change?

Climate change is already happening: temperatures are rising, drought and wild fires are starting to occur more frequently, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers and snow are melting and the global mean sea level is rising.

What are the natural causes of climate?

The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, the Earth’s orbital changes, solar variations and internal variability.

What are the main human causes of climate change?

Human factors increasing global warming

  • Burning fossil fuels, eg coal, gas and oil – these release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
  • Deforestation – trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis.
  • Dumping waste in landfill – when the waste decomposes it produces methane.
