Mitigation and adaptation are the two major prongs of climate action: mitigation to limit the warming our planet will experience, and adaptation to help people adjust to the effects of climate change.| MIT Climate Portal
Climate change affects both the quantity and quality of the limited amount of freshwater on Earth and threatens the availability of freshwater for humans and ecosystems alike.| MIT Climate Portal
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
Everything you need to know about deforestation, including the damage clearing trees does to people, wildlife and the climate.| Live Science
Coastal ecosystems, formed by plants that can thrive in saltwater, are especially good at storing carbon because of the thick, rich layers of soil they build up.| MIT Climate Portal
Soil-based carbon sequestration is a way to remove CO2 from the air and store it somewhere it can’t easily escape: in soils, which store carbon in the form of broken-down plant matter.| MIT Climate Portal
It takes decades for forests to grow, planting trees won't reduce the effects of climate change as the amount of emissions in the air is huge| ScienceABC
Climate models are computer programs that simulate weather patterns over time. Scientists use these models to predict how the climate might change in the future.| MIT Climate Portal
Through tools including "ESG" ratings, green bonds, and fossil fuel divestment, a growing number of investors are factoring risks from climate change into their choices about what assets to buy and sell.| 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
Agriculture is likely to face severe impacts from climate change. At the same time, the production, storage, and transport of food contribute to climate change.| 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
