1. Where Do We Go from Here?
2. Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
2.1. Afforestation and reforestation
2.2. Soil carbon sequestration
2.3. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS
2.4. Carbon mineralization
2.5. Direct air capture
2.6. Enhanced weathering
2.7. Ocean fertilization
2.8. Coastal blue carbon
2.9. Some ideas for the future
2.10. What’s needed to advance carbon dioxide removal?
3. How can we make the energy transition from fossil fuels to solar systems
3.1. Global GHG emissions have continued to rise, but in pathways that limit warming to 1.5 degrees C, they peak before 2025.
3.2. There's no room for building new fossil fuel infrastructure.
3.3. We need rapid transformations across all systems to avoid the worst climate impacts.
3.3.1. Scale up clean energy.
3.3.2. Double-down on innovation to decarbonize industry
3.3.3. Incentivize green buildings
3.3.4. Redesign cities and shift to zero- and low-carbon transport
3.3.5. Conserve ecosystems and improve food systems
3.3.6. Adopt a circular action plane
3.4. Changes in lifestyle and behaviors have a significant role to play in mitigating climate change.
3.4.1. Culture for the 2030 Agenda
3.4.2. Culture in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda
3.4.3. Curriculum relating to environment for sustainable knowledge and understanding
3.5. Climate finance for mitigation must be 3 to 6 times higher by 2030 to limit warming to below 2 degrees C.
3.6. Limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C will be impossible without carbon removal.
4. Developing a personal understanding of our place in nature by making educational pathways from ecosystems to culture.
