Hey young environmentalist! Ready to dive deep into the exciting world of Climate Change Mitigation? Let's break it down step-by-step, with some fun real-world examples to make it super easy for you to grasp. 🌍🌟

What is mitigation

Mitigation is like when you see a massive ice cream sundae about to topple and spill everywhere, and you quickly grab a plate to catch the drips. In our context, we're trying to catch and reduce the causes of climate change before our planet's "sundae" spills over!

National & international methods

Control the amount of atmospheric pollution

Think of our planet like a house. If we keep smoking inside, soon the air will become hard to breathe! By controlling pollution, we're essentially opening windows to let fresh air in.

Geoengineering

This is like giving Earth a fancy spa treatment! Geoengineering involves large-scale interventions in the Earth's climatic system. For example, one idea is to place huge mirrors in space to reflect some sunlight and cool our planet. Space umbrellas, anyone?

Develop carbon capture schemes

Picture a vacuum cleaner sucking up all the CO2 in the air. That's the idea! Capturing carbon stops it from heating our atmosphere.

 

Develop renewable energy sources

Imagine if our cars ran on sunshine or if our phones charged with the wind. That's the beauty of renewable energy! Solar panels and wind turbines are two cool examples.
