Climate change mitigation refers to the efforts and actions taken to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere, as well as to enhance the removal of these gases from the atmosphere. The primary goal of climate change mitigation is to limit the extent of global warming and its associated impacts on the environment, ecosystems, and human societies. This can be achieved through various measures such as transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, implementing sustainable land use practices, promoting afforestation and reforestation, and adopting cleaner technologies and practices in various sectors such as transportation, industry, and agriculture. The aim is to reduce the overall concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere and stabilize the climate system.
