referenceThe indicator measuring potential negative impacts of global climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions per 1 kWh of electricity was used in almost all energy technology assessment studies reviewed by Streimikienea et al. (2012).
claimLiu (2014) identifies renewable energy sources as the primary solution for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and environmental pollution.
claimGreenhouse gas emissions and global climate change are considered the greatest sustainability challenges facing humanity.
claimEnergy transition represents a path for economic development and innovation that maintains environmental integrity and sustainability, motivated by challenges such as greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and natural resource depletion.
claimElectricity generation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to global warming and climate change, threatening sustainable development.
How governments address climate change through carbon pricing ... nature.com 2 facts
quoteCarbon pricing policies offer "an efficient way to mitigate climate change as it provides households and businesses with economic incentives for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions."
claimVoters who elect parties with a strong focus on economic growth cannot expect those parties to prioritize ambitious policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change over their economic agenda.
Greater than 99% consensus on human caused climate change in ... iopscience.iop.org 2 facts
claimThe peer-reviewed scientific literature shows greater than 99% agreement that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the principal driver of modern climate change since the Industrial Revolution.
claimThe authors of the paper argue that papers rated as 'no position' (4a) should not be excluded from consensus calculations because they do not differ from the consensus view that Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are the principal driver of climate change.
Comprehensive Overview on the Present State and Evolution of ... link.springer.com 2 facts
claimThe energy industry is the primary source of global greenhouse gas emissions, which significantly impact climate change and global warming.
claimGovernments worldwide are exploring alternative energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate ecological impacts due to climate change concerns.
Realist Review on Just Transition Towards Low Emission, Climate ... link.springer.com 2 facts
claimA mapping of interventions found relatively low incidences of efforts helping to avoid, minimize, or mitigate job losses and negative social outcomes resulting from climate change, and even fewer instances of interventions reporting reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
referenceThe goal of transitioning away from high-polluting agricultural practices is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (specifically methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide) while creating resilient food systems that support population growth, adapt to climate change, and reduce biodiversity loss, according to the Green Climate Fund (2021a).
