Air pollution, which comes from many of the same sources as the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, is one of the largest threats to human health worldwide.| MIT Climate Portal
Net zero emissions are achieved when one's greenhouse gas emissions are effectively balanced out by actions that take or keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.| MIT Climate Portal
Renewable energy is energy from sources, like wind, solar, and hydropower, that we cannot run out of.| MIT Climate Portal
Extreme heat is a dangerous weather condition that is becoming more common and severe as climate change warms the planet.| MIT Climate Portal
Cities concentrate people into small areas for good reason, but this makes them major sources of greenhouse gases and uniquely vulnerable to climate risks.| MIT Climate Portal
Greenhouse gases are gases—like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—that keep the Earth warmer than it would be without them.| MIT Climate Portal
