READ MOREAgriculture, forestry and other land-based industries (AFOLU) are major contributors to climate change. The world can reduce emissions by 7.3 gigatonnes annually if it halts deforestation, ecosystem degradation and restores ecosystems. These actions would also improve air quality, bolster food and water security and shore up rural economies.

READ MORERenewable energy plays a crucial role in both climate change mitigation and adaptation in highly climate-vulnerable nations such as Nepal. This paper reviews various types of renewable energy technologies and their status, potential for adoption, relationship to climate change, and mitigative and adaptive roles in Nepal.
READ MORE1) Scaling Ocean-based Renewable Energy. Ocean-based renewable energy is a major area of opportunity with ready-to-implement solutions — including offshore wind as well as floating solar and tidal power — which could slash greenhouse gas emissions by up to 3.60 gigatonnes per year in 2050. That''s more than the total combined

READ MOREOcean-based action can play a critical role in helping the world to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, closing the emissions gap by as much as 35%, based on solutions that are ready to implement. Emission reductions of this magnitude are equivalent to four times the annual emissions of European Union countries.
READ MORESummary. Under the Paris Agreement, Malaysia committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 45 per cent by 2030 in relation to its 2005 GDP figure. The target includes a caveat for an unconditional reduction by 35 per cent, and an additional 10 per cent reduction upon receipt of climate financing, technology transfer and capacity
READ MORE2.1. Renewable energy and climate change Presently, the term "climate change" is of great interest to the world at large, scientific as well as political discussions. Climate has been changing since the beginning of
READ MOREThis means energy must be at the heart of any solution. There is no time to lose. Analysis by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) clearly shows us that global emissions need to be reduced to net-zero within the next few decades to avoid a dangerous increase in global temperatures. The coronavirus pandemic is resulting in a
