“What are the most effective strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the local, national, and global levels, considering diverse factors such as technological feasibility, economic impact, and policy implementation?”
Global warming is primarily caused by human activities that increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Here are the main contributors: Burning Fossil Fuels: The combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas for energy and transportation releases significant amounts of carbon dioxidRead more
Global warming is primarily caused by human activities that increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Here are the main contributors:
Burning Fossil Fuels: The combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas for energy and transportation releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases.
Deforestation: Cutting down forests reduces the number of trees that can absorb CO₂, increasing the amount of this gas in the atmosphere.
Agriculture: Farming practices, including livestock production, release methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O), potent greenhouse gases.
Industrial Processes: Manufacturing and industrial activities emit various greenhouse gases, including CO₂, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
These activities enhance the natural greenhouse effect, leading to a rise in Earth’s average temperature.

Reducing green house gases is a task that is being taken seriously by all levels of government at global levels, even the big companies, are targeting to go net zero by 2030, to come close to environmental justice and as well as to reduce the green house gas emissions, to reduce the green house gaseRead more
Reducing green house gases is a task that is being taken seriously by all levels of government at global levels, even the big companies, are targeting to go net zero by 2030, to come close to environmental justice and as well as to reduce the green house gas emissions, to reduce the green house gases, we need to work together at all levels, so let’s see how we can control the greenhouse gases effect at different levels in order to achieve the goal. If we talk about local level, many countries are promoting public transport as the means to travel around the city, so we can reduce the emissions from the vehicles, for example Germany and Japan are stakeholders at promoting public transport at a high level to reduce green house gas emissions. Now if we talk about national level, we should invest in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar etc. Now finally coming to global level, every country should participate in and adhere to the international climate agreements like the Paris convention, developing countries are given more freedom in producing emissions as they are at developing stage in these agreements and developed nations have to support it.
