regulation
Addressing the global climate crisis requires a multifaceted approach that includes international cooperation, regulation, policy and action across multiple sectors. While there is no single “global regulation” that can fully solve the crisis, there are several key initiatives and agreements that countries around the world are working to mitigate climate change.
Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement is a landmark international treaty adopted in 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The goal is to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit temperature rises to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Countries that are part of the agreement submit Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) outlining specific climate mitigation and adaptation goals.
renewable energy goals
Many countries have set ambitious targets to increase the share of renewable energy in their energy mix. These goals encourage the adoption of clean energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro and geothermal power to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
carbon pricing
Carbon pricing is putting a price on carbon emissions to incentivize industries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This can be achieved through mechanisms such as a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system, which encourage companies to invest in clean technologies.
energy efficiency standards
Implementing energy efficiency standards for buildings, appliances, vehicles, and industrial processes can significantly reduce energy consumption and associated emissions.
