Description

The changes in weather patterns which are spread over a long period of time are known as climate change. Mitigation strategies for climate change refer to the actions taken to limit the human contribution in the global greenhouse effect and the accompanying climate change. Human activities are causing a rise in the concentrations of greenhouse gases globally, resulting in global warming. This effect is exacerbated by numerous self-reinforcing cycles in the Earth's system, such as the melting of sea ice increases the ocean water, which then absorbs more heat resulting in the loss of more sea ice. Furthermore, increased carbon dioxide absorption by the oceans is causing increased level of ocean acidity, which has a negative impact on marine ecosystems. Strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere include shifting to low-carbon energy sources such as geothermal, wind power, solar, hydroelectric or nuclear. This book unravels the recent studies on the mitigation strategies being used for climate change. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
