Abstract

The current study aims to evaluate efforts to reduce or prevent the long-term consequences of climate change resulting from human activities, with a specific focus on greenhouse gas emissions, through a narrative review of the literature published within the past five years (2019-2024). To gather insights into climate-change mitigation strategies and policies, a narrative review approach was utilized, examining 20 papers within a specified timeframe. (1) This study identifies various mitigation strategies, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS), undertaking afforestation and reforestation projects, adopting cleaner technologies, and promoting sustainable practices. (2) Climate change-mitigation policies. The study acknowledges the governmental and organizational measures designed to address climate change through the implementation of mitigation strategies. These policies may include regulatory measures, incentive-based approaches, international agreements, and research & development funding. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of relying on empirical evidence in formulating climate-change mitigation strategies and policies. This finding suggests that policies should be grounded in scientific research and real-world data to ensure their effectiveness.
