“Enhance the National Mitigation Plan by including Industrial”
Context
Manmade climate change is one of the most serious issues facing us in the next years and decades.
The Paris agreement set a target to limit the effect to “less than 2 degrees C of global temperature rise”.
The technologies to achieve this target already exist . The means of mitigation related to energy use include
reducing all sources of greenhouse gases including:
- Renewable energy sources.
- Energy efficiency in all sectors of the economy.
- Nuclear power
- Fuel switching
- Carbon capture and storage
- Energy conservation meaning behaviour change, reducing waste, better operational control, etc.
