How can I respond to climate change?
Responding to climate change
Mitigation can entail reducing greenhouse gas emissions by moving away from carbon-intensive energy sources and improving energy efficiency, and by changing the way we manage land, through restoring forests and wetlands and implementing sustainable agricultural practices.How will humans respond to climate change?
Actions such as moving to higher ground to avoid rising sea levels, planting new crops that will thrive under new climate conditions, or using new building technologies represent adaptation strategies.
Reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 50-52% below 2005 levels in 2030.
Reaching 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035.
Achieving a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.
Delivering 40% of the benefits from federal investments in climate and clean energy to disadvantaged communities.
