- Energy efficiency improvements in buildings and appliances
Transport
- Electric vehicles (charged from renewable sources)
- Public transport expansion to reduce car use
- Biofuels for aviation
Nature-Based Solutions
- Reforestation and afforestation — trees absorb CO₂
- Protecting existing forests
- Restoring wetlands and peatlands
Individual Actions
- Reduce car travel; walk, cycle, or use public transport
