Effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change impacts:
*Short-Term Strategies (2025-2050)*
1. Transition to Renewable Energy (solar, wind, hydro)
2. Energy Efficiency (buildings, industry, transportation)
3. Electrify Transportation (EVs)
4. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
5. Methane Reduction (landfills, agriculture)
6. Sustainable Land Use (afforestation, reforestation)
7. Climate-Smart Agriculture
*Long-Term Strategies (2050-2100)*
1. Advanced Nuclear Power
2. Hydrogen Fuel Cells
3. Carbon Mineralization
4. Bioenergy with CCS (BECCS)
5. Ocean Fertilization
6. Urban Planning and Design
7. Climate-Resilient Infrastructure
*Sector-Specific Strategies*

4. Public awareness and education
5. International cooperation
*Key Targets*
1. Reduce GHG emissions by 45% by 2030
2. Achieve net-zero emissions by 2050
3. Limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels
*Sources*
1. IPCC Reports
2. UNFCCC
3. IEA
4. World Bank
5. National and international climate policies
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 –
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.
