Responses
● Clean energy
Renewable energy is key to limiting climate change. Fossil fuels accounted for 80% of the world's
energy in 2018. The remaining share was split between nuclear power and renewables (including solar
and wind power, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and hydropower).
● Energy efficiency
Reducing energy demand is another major aspect of reducing emissions.
● Agriculture and industry
Agriculture and forestry face a triple challenge of limiting greenhouse gas emissions, preventing the
further conversion of forests to agricultural land, and meeting increases in world food demand
● Carbon sequestration
Natural carbon sinks can be enhanced to sequester significantly larger amounts of CO 2 beyond
naturally occurring levels.
Impacts
Scientific consensus
There is a near-complete scientific consensus that the
climate is warming and that this is caused by human
activities. Agreement in recent literature reached over
99%.
Protests and lawsuits
Climate protests have risen in popularity in the
2010s. These protests demand that political
leaders take action to prevent climate change.
They can take the form of public
demonstrations, fossil fuel divestment, lawsuits
and other activities.
