The document discusses mitigation in the context of the Paris Agreement. It summarizes the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. It outlines that each country will communicate successive climate action plans and that there will be periodic reviews of collective progress. The document also discusses enabling climate policy elements like technology development and climate finance. It provides examples of emission pathways and policies that could achieve the Paris Agreement goals, but notes the substantial challenges, especially if action is delayed.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.

3. Mitigation in the Paris Agreement: Temperature,
emissions and sinks
• “This Agreement aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of
climate change…. including by holding the increase in the global average
temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue
efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial
levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of
climate change”
• “Each Party shall prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally
determined contributions that it intends to achieve”
• The CoP….shall periodically take stock of the implementation of the
Agreement to assess collective progress towards achieving the purpose of the
Agreement and its long-term goals (the “global stocktake”)
• Parties aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon
as possible….. so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic
emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the
second half of this century,
4. Mitigation in the Paris Agreement:
Enabling elements
• In the context of sustainable development
• Developed country Parties should continue to take the lead in
mobilizing climate finance from a wider variety of sources,
instruments and channels
• Parties share a long-term vision on the importance of fully
realizing technology development and transfer in order to improve
resilience to climate change and to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions
• Parties….shall strengthen cooperative action on technology
development and transfer
• A technology framework is hereby established to provide
overarching guidance to the work of the Technology Mechanism in
promoting and facilitating enhanced and transfer……

10. Limiting Temperature Increase to 2˚C
Measures exist to achieve the substantial emissions
reductions required to limit likely warming to 2°C
A combination of adaptation and substantial, sustained reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions can limit climate change risks
Implementing reductions in greenhouse gas emissions poses
substantial technological, economic, social, and institutional
challenges
But delaying mitigation will substantially increase the
challenges associated with limiting warming to 2°C

11. Mitigation Measures
More efficient use of energy
Greater use of low-carbon and no-carbon energy
• Many of these technologies exist today
Improved carbon sinks
• Reduced deforestation and improved forest management
and planting of new forests
• Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage
Lifestyle and behavioural changes

12. Ambitious Mitigation Is Affordable
➜ Economic growth reduced by ~ 0.06% (BAU growth 1.6 - 3%)
➜ This translates into delayed and not forgone growth
➜ Estimated cost does not account for the benefits of reduced
climate change
➜ Unmitigated climate change would create increasing risks to
economic growth
➜ Opportunities for economic diversification
