Renewable Energy and Climate Change Mitigation

Renewable energy is the energy that is gathered from Renewable resources, which is renewed by nature without any human interference. such as wind, sunlight, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Several countries have adopted alternative plans to obtain their power from renewable energy according to the availability of Renewable resources. These countries are not only accelerating Renewable Energy installations but are also integrating Renewable Energy into their existing infrastructure. This action to rely on Renewable Energy will minimize the harm caused to Environment and Climate.

Climate change mitigation is actions to limit the magnitude and the rate of climate change with respect to time. It generally involves reductions in anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Mitigation may also be achieved by increasing the capacity of carbon sinks, Reforestation the simplest example.

Examples of mitigation include switching to low-carbon energy sources, such as renewable and nuclear energy, and expanding forests and other "sinks" to remove greater amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
