Climate change mitigation refers to efforts and strategies aimed at reducing or preventing the harmful effects of climate change by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing carbon sinks. This includes actions such as transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, implementing carbon capture and storage technologies, and adopting sustainable land management practices. Climate change mitigation is essential in order to limit global warming and its associated impacts, such as extreme weather events, sea level rise, and biodiversity loss. It is a critical component of international agreements such as the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
