Greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are gases released into the atmosphere, trapping heat and contributing to global warming and climate change.example- carbon dioxide, methane etc.

India’s greenhouse gas emissions total 3.3 billion tons ( ranking 5th globally ) i.e.Energy (60%), Industry (21%), Agriculture (14%) and Waste (5%). India aims to reduce emissions by 33 to 35% by 2030.

Effective strategies to reduce Greenhouse gas emissions and it’s impact on climate change –

1. Transitioning to renewable energy reduce gas emissions through solar, wind and hydro power.
2. Green buildings and infrastructure reduce emissions through energy efficient design, materials, and systems.
3. Individual green actions reduce emissions through energy conservation, sustainable transportation and waste reduction habits.
4. Policy and finance measures reduce emissions through carbon pricing, green investments, tax incentives and subsidies.
5. Advanced nuclear power and carbon utilization reduce emissions and generate clean energy by converting CO2 into valuable chemicals.
6. Energy efficiency measures reduce emissions , leveraging LED lighting, smart grids and building insulation to combat climate change.
7. Climate resilient agriculture reduces emissions by promoting regenerative practices, precision farming and agroforestry to sequester carbon and enhance resilience.
8. Ecosystem restoration and conservation reduce climate change by sequestering carbon through reforestation, wetland preservation and biodiversity protection.

Reducing greenhouse gases requires collective action through renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable practices and conservation. Together we can mitigate climate change, protect the planet and ensure a healthier future.
