began its efforts to combat climate change after feeling pressure from other nations to reduce its emissions. As such, China established the National Coordination Committee on Climate Change (NCCCC) to help achieve its targets of 20% reduction of energy intensity and 10% reduction of the emissions of major pollutants (Zhou, 2008). The Committee develops policies, governs negotiations and makes decisions related to emissions and the environment. The Committee is chaired by the State Development and
Mitigation Strategies and Solutions Final Project: Energy conservation is a process that every one in the world should be aware of not just for the rising cost of energy that is used by the consumer, but also the destruction that it can stop on the earths resources. Energy conservation is the reducing or eliminating of unnecessary energy use and waste by decreasing the quantity of energy used for achieving the same outcome. There are many tools that can be used for energy conservation Focus
Boynton Beach recognized climate change issues, along with location-specific vulnerabilities and the need to adopt a mitigation and strategy plan. The city would see the impact of the rising sea level that could affect the water supply and the storm drainage failures that the city would soon encounter. The city of Boynton Beach took steps to create the Boynton Beach Climate Action Plan (CAP) that was adopted by the City Commission. Boynton Beach City Commission offers programs to help ensure the city
Energy Conservation 1 Mitigation Strategies and Solutions: Energy Conservation Katie Shuker Axia College of University of Phoenix Energy Conservation 2 Energy conservation is the practice of decreasing the quantity of energy used while achieving a similar outcome of end use. This practice may result in increase human comfort, personal security, national security, environmental value, and financial capital. Energy conservation is a reduction or elimination of unnecessary energy use
This essay outlines three problems caused by climate change in urban areas, and evaluates the effectiveness of some of the mitigation and adaptation strategies. This essay reasons that mitigation and adaptation strategies need to work in synergy in order to address the situation effectively. The three problems caused by climate change are, rise in sea level, varied energy demand, and water scarcity. Firstly, the impact on costal areas contributing to sea level rise has made low-lying cities vulnerable
Currently India has one third of the world’s 1.2 billion citizens living in poverty, which is approximately 400 million people who are without sufficient shelter or food (Davey, 2016). As a developing country, India hopes to transition to renewable energy generation of 175 gigawatts by 2022. However, in order to achieve this goal, India would need a sizeable investment that “is equivalent to over four times the country’s annual defense spending, and over ten times the country’s annual spending on health
Anthropogenic climate change is often considered to be greatest threat currently posed on the world. Climate change fits into the public goods framework in terms of both mitigation and adaptation policy (Boyer 2013). Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by human activity are heavily impacting the climate, and thus creating externalities that are impacting the globe, such as rising global temperatures, increasing extreme weather incidents, and changing weather patterns. These externalities are

environment of China had to learn to adapt to their new situation. Not only did they need to adapt, they also needed to mitigate the climate change. Fortunately, mitigation and adaptation go hand-in-hand. The Paris-China Agreement In order to counteract the expulsion of CO2, the president of China met with other worldly leaders to discuss a plan of action. The main focus of this summit revolved around China being the “World’s Factory” and compile unparalleled wealth. Along with the growth of the country’s
dioxide are from aviation sector (FAA 18). The recent global research on human-induced climate change shown that 3.5% to 4.9% of the GHGs comes from aviation, which projected to increase to between 4.4% and 6.2% by 2050 unless technology ambient mitigation tactics undertaken (FAA 19-20). Noise disturbance has a minimal ecological impact, which affects the lives and peace of the population living next to the airport. These effects are communication interference, sleep disturbance, cardiovascular and
