There are numerous possibilities to mitigate global climate change. The power to effect change is impacted by the scale of the project, funding and international cooperation.
To have knowledge of strategies to offset carbon emissions.
To have knowledge of strategies that focus on carbon trading.
To be able to discuss mitigation strategies and to evaluate their potential success.

So far we have investigated how climate change might be mitigated at the global and national scales but are their other management strategies that can be successful? For this syllabus point the group is going to be divided into small teams to create a Google Slide presentation on a specific strategy to mitigate global climate change. Each slide will need to include the following:
Process - Describe how your strategy aims to mitigate climate change.
Place - Where is your strategy being used and why?
Power - What factors may impact the strategy. Remember to explain them.
Possibilities - How successful has this mitigation strategy been? Or do you think it going to be?
Make a copy of the table below and write notes on each presentation so that everyone knows about the various mitigation strategies to reduce global climate change.

"Renewables reached 33.8% (10,730 TWh) against coal's 33.0% (10,476 TWh), coal fell below a third of generation for the first time in history, solar grew by a record 636 TWh to 2,778 TWh, solar and wind together met 99% of global demand growth, and fossil generation fell by 38 TWh, the first non-pandemic year without an increase."
