Step 4: Taking notes part 1

Efforts to combat climate change are increasingly focusing on sustainable agriculture and the development of green jobs. Electric vehicles and the broader adoption of renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and geothermal power are key strategies.

Green jobs as an effective framework for sustainable agriculture.

Conclusion

reducing EPA scope 1 2 and 3 green house gas emissions.
EPA has decreased pollution.
EPA has exceeded sustainable purchasing.
EPA has been completing major energy-efficient capital improvement projects.

Suggested Resolutions

Kyoto protocol requires countries to lower their anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission.
EPA’s Sustainability Report and Implementation Plan finds solutions to reduce green house gas emissions.
using different energy sources such as: wind power, solar power, geothermal power, landfill gas, biomass power, and low impact hydropower.
not using as much fossil fuels.

What's Being Done

the UN ActNow Campaign to get ideas from the community to stop global warming.
The making of electric vehicles.
More people using renewable energy sources.
European Union and United States launched the global methane pledge which will effect over 100 countries and aim to reduce 30% of methane emissions by 2030.

History Of Issue

In 1988 it was acknowledged that the climate was warmer then any time in 1990
In 1940 there were developments in infrared spectroscopy which measured long wave radiation.
Svante Arrhenius was a Swedish scientist that was first to claim that burning fossil fuels will enhance global warming.
The issue started to become worrying when people started burning fossil fuels for energy.

Introduction

Green power is a renewable energy that decreases green house emissions.
The biggest cause of green house gases is the use of fossil fuel.
Green jobs according to UNEP are,"positions in agriculture, manufacturing, R&D, administrative, and service activities aimed at substantially preserving or restoring environmental quality"
Green house gases are gases that causes global warming and climate change.
