The impact of climate change on crop management, including changes in growing seasons, water availability, and pest and disease pressure.
Greenhouse gases: The gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere leading to global warming, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
Carbon footprint: A measure of the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere through human activity, such as burning fossil fuels.
Renewable energy: Energy sources that are replenished naturally, like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.
Emissions reduction: Strategies and technologies to lower the amount of greenhouse gases released by human activity.
Adaptation: Strategies for adapting to the impacts of climate change.
Climate models: Computer programs that simulate climate patterns and explore potential impacts of climate change.
Forest management: Strategies for reducing deforestation and restoring forests to sequester carbon.
Agriculture: Strategies for reducing agricultural impacts on the climate, including reducing methane and nitrous oxide emissions from livestock and improved crop management practices.
Water management: Strategies for adapting water management to the impacts of climate change, including droughts and floods.
Climate policy: Developments in national and international policy that address climate change, such as the Paris Agreement.
Climate finance: Strategies for financing climate-related efforts, such as carbon credit markets and green bonds.
Environmental justice: Addressing environmental inequalities and protecting vulnerable populations from the impacts of climate change.
Climate risk assessment: Evaluating the risks and vulnerabilities of different sectors to the impacts of climate change.
Climate communication: Strategies for effectively communicating the risks and opportunities associated with climate change.
Carbon pricing: Policies and mechanisms for putting a price on carbon emissions to encourage emissions reductions.
