Renewable energies

The first way to prevent climate change is to move away from fossil fuels.
What are the alternatives? Renewable energies like solar, wind, biomass and
geothermal.

2. Energy & water efficiency

Producing clean energy is essential, but reducing our consumption of energy


and water by using more efficient devices (e.g. LED light bulbs, innovative
shower system) is less costly and equally important.

3. Sustainable transportation

Promoting public transportation, carpooling, but also electric and hydrogen


mobility, can definitely help reduce CO2 emissions and thus fight global
warming.

4. Sustainable infrastructure

In order to reduce the CO2 emissions from buildings - caused by heating, air
conditioning, hot water or lighting - it is necessary both to build new low
energy buildings, and to renovate the existing constructions.
5. Sustainable agriculture & forest management

Encouraging better use of natural resources, stopping massive deforestation


as well as making agriculture greener and more efficient should also be a
priority.

6. Responsible consumption & recycling

Adopting responsible consumption habits is crucial, be it regarding food


(particularly meat), clothing, cosmetics or cleaning products. Last but not
least, recycling is an absolute necessity for dealing with waste.

Educate Girls

Educating girls and empowering women has multiple positive impacts on climate,


according to Foley and other experts 

"Women have a disproportionate share of decision making around what happens in


the home. "In terms of water, cooking, food, food waste, fuel choices, how homes
are heated, how they’re built, how they’re used. So this also is a powerful kind of
Girl Effect, we call it, on our world. It’s enormous, and combined with family
planning access, it’s one of the most powerful climate solutions of all."

"Women who have more access to education and more opportunity tend to have
fewer children, and a little bit later in life," Foley said. It's the only effective way,
short of coercion, to reduce human population growth, which lies at the foundation
of all of the earth's environmental woes.

Protect Native Lands

"Analysis after analysis shows that communities that are protecting their forests,
their native lands, tend to have forests that are healthier, that have more biological
diversity, and those forests inevitably store more carbon "They are just richer in
biomass, and the soils are richer, nine times out of ten. So helping communities
preserve their forests tends to preserve the best forests in the world."
Acid rains happen when gases such as Carbon dioxide and Sulfur dioxide combine with water
particles and form the Sulfuric and Carbonic acids. Carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are emitted
mainly due to combustion of fossil fuels. It it obvious that if more of these gases are emitted then
more acid rains are expected. The carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are also responsible for global
warming.

Due to ozone depletion o3 gases are less in the atmosphere for which more uv radiations are able to
enter earths surface and effect the climate making it more heated and warm .
