Climate change mitigation scenarios

Climate change mitigation scenarios are plans for how we can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. They usually involve sets of steps and strategies that humans can take to reduce their energy use, such as using more renewable energy, using less electricity and gas, using less single-use plastic, reducing transportation emissions, and planting more trees. All of these processes help to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that trap heat and lead to global warming.
