Emerging Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
摘要
Climate changeClimate change reflects an enormous risk to ecological systems, human health, and worldwide economic growth. With the increase in global temperatures and the growing frequency of catastrophic storms, the urgency for mitigationMitigation (reducing greenhouse gas emissionsGreenhouse gas emissions) and adaptationAdaptation (adjusting to the changing climate) has reached a critical level. Emerging technologiesEmerging technologies are crucial in addressing these challenges, providing innovative solutions for reducing emissions, enhancing resilience, and enabling sustainable developmentSustainable development. This chapter explores key emerging technologiesEmerging technologies in climate change mitigationClimate change mitigation and adaptationAdaptation, including renewable energyRenewable energy advancements, carbon capture and storageCarbon Capture and Storage (CCS), artificial intelligenceArtificial Intelligence for climate modelingClimate modeling and decision-making, climate-resilient agricultureAgriculture, and smart infrastructure. These technologies not only offer the potential to reduce the carbon footprintCarbon footprint but also provide novel approaches to safeguarding communities and ecosystemsEcosystems against the impacts of climate changeClimate change. The chapter also discusses the challenges and opportunities these technologies present in terms of scalability, policy frameworks, and global cooperationGlobal cooperation.
