Trading scheme for carbon emissions - when purchasing, they invest in an environmental program (sponsor activities that will reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to compensate for their own emissions)]]> 2022-04-13 08:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142128886 https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142135546 Geoengineering is a mitigation method where technology is used to manipulate/reduce the effects from the enhanced greenhouse effect, typically by increasing the amount of radiation reflected back into space. However, many of these are still theoretical and some argue that it doesn't solve the root cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect which is higher greenhouse gas emissions due to anthropogenic activities.

Examples of geoengineering methods include space mirrors, high albedo crops, painting rooftops white, spraying aerosols into clouds to increase reflectivity etc.

Geoengineering involves manipulating the Earth's environmental systems to counteract the impacts of climate change

Examples I forgot: carbon dioxide removal, carbon capture and storage, land use management, increasing absorption by oceans (by fertilising oceans with nitrates)]]> 2022-04-13 08:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142135546 https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142139087 Yokohama Stadium in Japan - built to act as flood management where the basement of the stadium can hold water when needed

Green roofs in France - in commercial areas, it is necessary for roofs to be partially covered by plants or solar panels

Waterways in Copenhagen, Denmark - can turn its park into temporary lakes instead of building more conventional walls and levees to keep out the water

Forestry Scheme in Mexico - community- run forest programs in Mexico provide jobs and livelihoods for people while supporting climate goals]]> 2022-04-13 09:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142139087 https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142140765 Due to climate change, there has been less snow cover in recent years and it is expected that the amount of snow will continue to decrease. Low altitude resorts are already suffering with a shorter period where snow is available so resorts have adapted by making artificial snow (although this does increase ski lift prices so it is expected that skiing will soon be isolated to the wealthy)]]> 2022-04-13 09:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142140765 https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142150355 Indigenous groups in Canada (Iniuts) live in the Nunavut province and have strong connections with nature. Thus, climate change is affecting their own traditions, culture, artifacts and livelihoods. For example, many of the Iniut elders have observed weather patterns for decades, but this culture is gradually declining as unpredictable weather patterns make it harder for this. Although more ice is melting during the summer, opening up more shipping routes in the arctic which could benefit the Inuit economically, the unstable ice makes it harder for traditional transportation methods, such as sledding traditional snowmobile. The freeze-thaw patterns has also damaged the runway there, which is problematic as the Inuit rely on air transport to receive food supplies, as traditional hunting and fishing methods for food has become unreliable due to climate change. Tourism may also be affected, as the permafrost protected many ancient artifacts which are of interest to many people and these are now beginning to be damaged.

- Raising awareness eg. how to reduce carbon footprints
- Education - improve information access on climate change
- Advocacy - raise the profile of the most vulnerable groups and give them a voice by drawing attention to their plight in the public arena
- Promote responsibility within communities by raising awareness that everyone is responsible for global climate change
- Encourage individuals to buy sustainable products]]> 2022-04-13 09:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142153312 https://padlet.com/list4/bdo5b4l5nyg9zrir/wish/2142155808 CSR is a type of international private business self-regulation (has ethical frameworks intended to have a positive influence on the world.)

Example: Ben and Jerry's
Ensures all the produce used in production process is Free Trade
Has goals to have a zero net release of CO2

Other goals I missed:
- greenhouse gas intensity reduction
- 100% renewable energy
