There is no single solution to climate changing, which is primarily a due to too much heat-trapping carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. Below, listed are a few countries with their solutions to climate change.
Africa It is known, that the countries of Africa have some of the lowest overall and per capita global warming emissions on the planet, they are also likely to suffer from some of the worst consequences of climate change. These impacts may already be unfolding in the form of droughts, famine, desertification and population displacement. In the context of high levels of poverty and malnutrition, it is highly important for many African countries is increase in access to energy services and improving the economic welfare of their people. Fortunately, deforestation and forest degradation in the Congo Basin are historically low. New efforts are underway to ensure effective land use planning and balancing local subsistence needs with conservation. Solutions to global warming in Africa include effective land use planning to avoid forest degradation, developing usage of renewable energy and limiting the expansion …show more content…

This is a country that already faces extreme climatic conditions and has precious natural resources, so long-term imbalance in temperature and precipitation will produce adverse impacts. The UAE is a low lying coastal country with a dry climate, which also faces high temperatures. At the same time, we play a crucial role in the world’s energy economy as a supplier of fossil fuels, which gives us an important stake in finding solutions to cutting emissions while still providing the world with the energy it requires. With financing the renewable energy and the role as the host of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), we are at the heart of the clean energy innovation. The UAE is active in the fight against climate change both because we acknowledge the risks of not acting and because we are responsible global citizens committed to multilateral action. Together we can build new industries, promote knowledge-intensive jobs and create opportunities for our young people who understand the requirements of a better and healthy
