as activities that reduce their concentration in the atmosphere.
It is one of the ways to respond to climate change, along with adaptation.
Fossil fuel combustion accounts for 89% of all CO2 emissions and 68% of all GHG emissions. The most important challenge is to eliminate the use of coal, oil and gas and substitute them with clean energy sources. Due to massive price drops, wind power and solar photovoltaics (PV) are increasingly out-competing oil, gas and coal though these require energy storage and improved electrical grids. Once that low-emission energy is deployed at large scale, transport and heating can shift to these mostly electric sources." - (en.wikipedia.org 16.08.2021)
