Frequently asked questions about climate mitigation

What is Climate Mitigation?

Climate mitigation refers to actions and strategies taken to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants into the Earth’s atmosphere. The primary goal of climate mitigation is to limit and ultimately slow down the pace of climate change by curbing the factors responsible for global warming. This typically involves efforts to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and other greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming. Climate mitigation involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, afforestation, sustainable transportation, waste reduction, policy actions, and behavioral changes to combat climate change and limit global warming.

Why is climate migitation important?

Climate mitigation is essential to combat global warming, protect the environment, public health, and economies, ensure security, achieve sustainable development, uphold ethics, preserve ecosystem services, foster global cooperation, and prepare for a more resilient future in the face of climate change. At this critical time, when the world needs tangible climate action at every level, ecoacts mission is to guideorganisations in developing and implementing robust and impactful climate action strategies. We enable organisationsacross all sectors to effectively translate their climate ambitions into concrete actions that achieve measurable results and meaningful contributions towards addressing the urgent climate crisis. Businesses that make progress towards net-zero, embracing change and transformation, will play a key role and thrive, while those that lag behind will miss out on growth opportunities or perhaps risk the long-term sustainability of their business. Transition planning works as a business card that allows companies to show investors how they are decarbonising and adapting to climate change while remaining profitable and resilient.

What is net-zero?

Put simply, net-zero is a state where we addno incremental greenhouse gases (ghg) to the atmosphere. This means emissions output is balanced with the removal of carbon from the atmosphere via carbon sinks (e. g. forests, mangroves, carbon capture and storage, etc. ). The corporate net-zero standard, developed bythe science based targets initiative (sbti) in 2021, provides businesses with a clear blueprint on how to achieve net-zero. With a strong focus on emissions reductions, businesses are required to reduce emissions by 90-95% by 2050. To achieve net-zero, the remaining 5-10% should then be removed through carbon offsetting projects (e.g. forest conservation, afforestation, reforestation, improved forest management, regenerative agriculture, renewable energy, fuel switch, etc. ).

What is meant by 1.5 degrees or warming to 1.5 degrees scenarios?

The concept of the 1.5oc threshold originates fromthe paris agreement the international accordon climate change established by the unitednations in 2015. This international climate treatyset the objective of keeping the global averagetemperature well below 2oc above than pre-industrial levels, with a preferred limit of 1.5oc. As part of the paris agreement, the un conventionon climate change (unfccc) requested theintergovernmental panel on climate change (ipcc)to produce a special report on the impacts of globalwarming of 1.5oc warmer than pre-industrial levelsand related global greenhouse gas (ghg) emissionpathways. According to the ipccs special report7published in 2018, to achieve a 1.5oc limit withminimal overshooting, net global co2 emissionsneed to fall by about 45% from 2010 levels by 2030and reach net-zero by around 2050. Meeting a 1.5oc limit, therefore, requires rapid andfar-reaching transitions across all sectors, a wideportfolio of mitigation options, and a substantialupscaling of investments in those options. Italso requires a significant contribution fromnature-based and technology-based solutions(ntbs). To unlock this capability, ntbs requireadditional funding and adherence to internationallyrecognised standards that safeguard the rightsof indigenous peoples and local communities, while also ensuring strict social and environmentalsafeguards to prevent any negative impacts onlocal communities
