One critical way we can respond to human-caused climate change is by mitigating it, that is, taking action to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This chapter discusses climate change mitigation, its connection with climate change adaptation, and a variety of strategies that countries, communities, businesses, organizations, and individuals can employ.
