How does climate change risk be reduced?
How does climate change risk be reduced?
Climate change risk management approaches generally fall into four broad categories:
mitigation—efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
adaptation—increasing society’s capacity to cope with changes in climate
geoengineering or climate engineering—additional, deliberate manipulation of the earth system that is intended to counteract at least some of the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions
knowledge-base expansion—efforts to learn and understand more about the climate system, which can help support proactive risk management.
