Climate change mitigation
Actions to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to limit climate change
Summary
Climate change mitigation, also called climate change decarbonisation, is an action to limit the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that cause climate change. Climate change mitigation actions include conserving energy and replacing fossil fuels with clean energy sources. Secondary mitigation strategies include changes to land use and removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. 2022 assessments emphasize that global greenhouse gas emissions must peak before 2025 and decline by about 43% by 2030 to limit warming to 1.5 °C, requiring rapid transitions in energy, transport, and land-use systems.

/* Enhanced weathering */
/* Barriers */ Some of these sentences are highly vague and confusing. Removed some.
/* Needed emissions cuts */ Removed possible AI paragraph; it doesn't really need to be here.
/* Negative side effects */ The second paragraph is very essay-like.
Altered doi-broken-date. Add: bibcode, article-number, hdl, url, date, authors 1-1. Removed parameters. Some additions/deletions were parameter name changes. | [[:en:WP:UCB|Use this bot]]. [[:en:WP:DBUG|Report bugs]]. | Suggested by Headbomb | [[Category:CS1 errors: dates]] | #UCB_Category | Whitelisted category 534/1063
Fixed references. Please see [[Category:CS1 errors: dates]] and websites in titles.
/* Transport */ update sourcing for updated chart
not a "first"/"last" name (via [[WP:JWB]])
Deduplicate reference | Cleaned up using [[WP:AutoEd|AutoEd]] | Renamed references using [[User:Nardog/RefRenamer|RefRenamer]] | #proveit
Include more information for clarity.
/* Needed emissions cuts */ Puting in chronological order.
/* Needed emissions cuts */ Updating.
/* Avoided costs of climate change effects */ removed simplistic, Global North focused sentences about saving money. Might fit better elsewhere e.g. [[individual action on climate change]] or [[economic analysis of climate change]]
/* Avoided costs of climate change effects */ | Alter: title, doi. Added article-number. Removed parameters. Some additions/deletions were parameter name changes. | [[:en:WP:UCB|Use this tool]]. [[:en:WP:DBUG|Report bugs]]. | #UCB_Gadget
/* Avoided costs of climate change effects */ internal links
/* Avoided costs of climate change effects */ adding in cost issue references
/* Low-carbon energy */ updating sourcing for updated chart
