The IPCC’s Mitigation of Climate Change Report
The IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report focuses on new literature on the scientific, technological, environmental, economic and social aspects of mitigation of climate change.
The report is organised into five sections:
- Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends
- Mitigation in the short and medium term, across different economic sectors (until 2030)
- Mitigation in the long-term (beyond 2030)
- Policies, measures and instruments to mitigate climate change
- Sustainable development and climate change mitigation.
The report suggests which actions should be taken to most dramatically reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere.
