The document discusses various strategies and policies to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise. It proposes increasing renewable energy sources like solar and wind. It also suggests improving transportation infrastructure to encourage alternatives to personal vehicles like public transit, cycling and electric vehicles to reduce emissions. Reforestation and afforestation efforts are highlighted as important to sequester carbon from the atmosphere through increased forestry and protection of natural forests and wetlands. Government regulation and enforcement of environmental policies are emphasized to effectively implement these climate solutions.

The Paris Agreement is an international treaty in which all
UNFCCC member states have agreed to lower the global temperature by 2°C and to limit the increase to 1.5°C. One of its targets is to reduce carbon emissions by 70% by 2030 in order to reach the -2°C goal. The Economy
Corporate Social Responsibility Activities
Houses To The People Gives people shelter Using wood as material aids in carbon sequestration Using recycled materials lessens pollution Feeding The People Provides nutrition to the people Large-scale feeding uses less resources to feed many Planting of Trees Increases amount of trees Increases biodiversity Creation Of National Parks Conserves existing forests and natural places Provides jobs to people Government Plantations Provides jobs to people Planting more trees Government regulated forestry Energy Supply
Energy Supply Stabilization
Going Nuclear Nuclear power is now safe Resources are abundant Highly Efficient Requires a lot of resources in the short term, but pays off in the long run Nationalizing The Power Industry Provides jobs to people Government regulated power industry Higher taxes, but better services (i.e. less or no blackouts) Power From The Earth Less reliance on fossil fuels = less pollution Efficient and safe Power From Plants And Animals Agricultural byproducts are used Biofuel can be used to make electricity Biofuel can be used to fuel engines Going Futuristic Stirling Engines are engines that run on any heat source Parabolic mirrors with solar trackers efficiently focus heat into an area over a day Requires more research; but is a feasible power source Transport
Carbon Emission Reduction
Carpooling Less cars on the road = less pollution and less fuel consumption More people transported, but less resources consumed Commuting Public transportation is regulated More people transported, but less cars Less cars, less fuel consumption, less pollution Cycling No fuel usage and pollution Keeps you healthy On Two Feet No fuel usage; no pollution Keeps you healthy Petrol To Electro Electric vehicles have no emissions Shows promise in making transportation clean Forestry
Trees To Reduce By 2°C
The Mangroves Wetlands are very good at carbon sequestration Mangrove forests are as efficient in carbon sequestration as tropical rain forests Increase Biodiversity Monocultures leave trees vulnerable to disease and climate change Different types of trees also sequester carbon in different time frames Government Plantations Planting more trees Regulated forestry Ensures that the forests are maintained Government Regulation Stricter regulations can and will protect forests, wetlands, and other environments Stricter enforcement of regulations will make the previous statement a reality Conservation Cutting old trees releases carbon into the atmosphere Replacing old forests with new ones is counter intuitive to our cause Replacing other environments with forests is also bad for our cause Picture Sources https://www.philstar.com/business/2017/08/21/1731346/government-lifts-foreign-restrictions-finance-investm ent-houses https://philnews.ph/2018/07/04/president-duterte-signs-national-feeding-program-public-school-children/ https://www.pangasinan.gov.ph/2014/10/tree-planting-program-healing-the-forests-enjoying-its-benefits/ https://www.lakadpilipinas.com/2009/12/bacolod-mambukal-national-park.html https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1106285 https://www.eaglenews.ph/philippines-eyes-reviving-mothballed-bataan-nuclear-plant/ https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Bagasse_baling_machine_in_Hainan_-_06.jpg https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/139189444702969958/ https://livegreennebraska.com/travelsmart/carpool/ https://balikmanggagawa.blogspot.com/2014/06/bacolod-city-jeeps.html http://chlbicycle.blogspot.com/2012/08/merida-2013.html https://coach.nine.com.au/fitness/10-minute-walking-brisk-pace-moderate-intensity/454a6e59-ec38-4878-a0 2c-5193b63ec50b https://www.carscoops.com/2019/04/elon-musk-tesla-roadster-range-will-be-above-1000-km/ Picture Sources https://www.flickr.com/photos/poieef/4597298332 http://news.schoolsdo.org/2017/09/biodiversity-helps-ecosystems-survive-climate-change/ https://www.kindpng.com/imgv/TwoRRm_national-headquarters-talaksan-seal-of-the-denr-flickr/ https://phys.org/news/2021-04-trees-world-offset-society-carbon.html
