What can be done to slow down climate change?

Climate change can be slowed down by controlling greenhouse gas emissions and increasing greenhouse gas absorption.

1. The main ways to control greenhouse gas emissions are to change the energy structure, control the use of fossil fuels, and increase the proportion of nuclear energy and renewable energy; Improve the efficiency of power generation and other energy conversion sectors.

Improve the energy efficiency of industrial production departments and reduce the energy consumption of unit products; Improve the efficiency of civil energy such as building heating; Improve the energy efficiency of the transportation sector to control and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.

2. The main ways to increase the absorption of greenhouse gases are afforestation and carbon fixation technology, in which carbon fixation technology refers to the separation and recovery of carbon dioxide from combustion emissions, and then deep-sea disposal and underground disposal, or chemical, physical and biological methods for fixation.

There are many ways to adapt to climate change.

Adapting to climate change includes institutional measures, technical measures and engineering measures, such as building infrastructure to cope with climate change, establishing monitoring and early warning system for extreme weather and climate events, and strengthening climate disaster risk management.

In terms of adapting agriculture to climate change, developing new drought-resistant varieties, adopting intercropping, crop stubble, weed control, developing irrigation and hydroponic agriculture, etc. In order to cope with the flood, we should use polder fields and improve drainage methods, develop and popularize alternative crops, and adjust planting and harvesting time. In order to cope with the heat wave, we should develop new heat-attached varieties, change farming time and monitor crop pests.
