Solutions
To reduce many of the undesirable impacts of climate change, humans may adapt to changes already underway, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, or adopt policies to encourage more sustainable practices.
Economics will determine to a large extent which responses or solutions are chosen.
Below are four key areas through which we might find solutions to lesson the impact of the changing climate. We most likely will need to use a combination of these.
