Hi please review

KEY POINTS

On the journey to the UN Climate Conference at Glasgow (26th CoP), numerous interventions are being proposed to either stop or slow down global warming.

Geo-engineering approaches

·        Carbon dioxide removal approach focuses on removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and locking them away, through carbon capture and storage technologies (CCS).

·        Solar radiation modification,  this process does not affect atmospheric greenhouse gases but aims to reflect the solar radiation coming to the earth.

·        Removal of the radiation modification could result in the escalation of temperature very quickly, giving significantly less time to adapt.

·        Since solar radiation is responsible for photosynthesis, sudden masking of solar radiation could significantly affect the process.

Nature-based solution

·        It is an umbrella term used for several solutions like green infrastructure, natural infrastructure, ecological engineering, ecosystem-based mitigation.

·        The potential of natural systems as an effective solution for sequestering carbon dioxide has led to several efforts to scale nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change.

·        We must not run blindly after planting trees; instead, we must back reason with science. Trees should be planted where they belong, that too with native species, and in consultation with local communities.
