In this deck, we'll explore how we can manage climate change. You'll learn about the two main approaches: mitigation, which tackles the causes of climate change, and adaptation, which deals with its effects. We'll look at specific strategies for each, from developing new energy sources to protecting our coastlines.

First, let's look at mitigation. Mitigation strategies are all about reducing the causes of climate change. Their primary goal is to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For your exam, think of mitigation as 'prevention' – trying to stop climate change from getting worse.

One of the most important mitigation strategies is switching to alternative energy sources. This means moving away from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which release huge amounts of carbon dioxide. Instead, we can use renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, which produce clean energy.
