Climate Change Mitigation
Strategies and technologies reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to 1.5-2°C above pre-industrial levels.
Real World
The UK's commitment under the Climate Change Act to reach net zero by 2050 drives policies like banning new petrol car sales from 2035 and expanding offshore wind capacity to 50GW — concrete mitigation strategies targeting each major emission sector.
Exam Focus
For 'evaluate' questions, always contrast mitigation with adaptation and weigh economic costs against environmental benefits for full marks.
