Climate Change Mitigation
The Climate Change Mitigation issue category measures progress to combat global climate change, which exacerbates other environmental threats and imperils human health and safety. It is composed of nine indicators: emission trends for four greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, F-gases, and N2O) and one climate pollutant (black carbon); net carbon fluxes from land cover change; projected total GHG emission in 2050; and GHG emission trends relative to emission intensity or per capita emission.
