Answer:

A low-carbon economy (LCE), low-fossil-fuel economy (LFFE), or decarbonised economy is an economy based on low-carbon power sources that therefore has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere, specifically carbon dioxide. GHG emissions due to anthropogenic (human) activity are the dominant cause of observed global warming (climate change) since the mid-20th century.[3] Continued emission of greenhouse gases may cause long-lasting changes around the world, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive, and irreversible effects for people and ecosystems.

Shifting to a low-carbon economy on a global scale could bring substantial benefits both for developed and developing countries. Many countries around the world are designing and implementing low-emission development strategies (LEDS). These strategies seek to achieve social, economic, and environmental development goals while reducing long-term greenhouse gas emissions and increasing resilience to the effects of climate change.

Globally implemented low-carbon economies are therefore proposed by those having drawn this conclusion as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change and as a precursor to the more advanced, zero-carbon economy.

The GeGaLo index of geopolitical gains and losses assesses how the geopolitical position of 156 countries may change if the world fully transitions to renewable energy resources. Former fossil fuel exporters are expected to lose power, while the positions of former fossil fuel importers and countries rich in renewable energy resources is expected to strengthen.

Answer:

A low-carbon lifestyle reduces greenhouse gases and saves resources. It lowers our exposure to chemicals and pollution. For a healthy planet and a healthy life, adopt this sustainable lifestyle and think twice before consumption. Take only what we need.

Explanation:

How can I be low carbon at home? Reduce, reuse, recycle – this is a great mantra for low carbon homes. Making sure that you are always being as energy efficient as possible will greatly reduce your carbon footprint.

The National Low Carbon Strategy outlines the French roadmap for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). It concerns all sectors of activity and must be endorsed by everyone: citizens, communities and businesses. • Two goals: - Achieving carbon neutrality.

For starters, carbon emissions need to be significantly reduced. Carbon emissions make up approximately 90 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, which absorb heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. Many human activities rely on the burning of carbon-releasing fossil fuels, such as powering buildings and transport.

This systematic review clearly shows that low-carbon measures can help to achieve a range of development priorities, such as job creation, improved public health, social inclusion, and improved accessibility. There is already strong evidence of an economic case for climate action.
