Strategies and effectiveness of Climate Change
The government may encourage households to reduce, reuse and recycle goods so that less refuse is sent to landfill sites
This will in turn reduce the amount of methane being emitted into the atmosphere
Households can reduce energy consumption by insulating their homes/switching lights off
All new buildings in Scotland have to have low carbon heating by 2024
People could be encouraged to use public transport, walk or cycle.
Or use hybrid or electric cars to cut down on fuel consumption
However these are often too expensive for purchase
Disposal of older fridges should be carefully managed to make sure CFCs don't escape
However these are still in low-income countries which could prove to be an issue
Government policies such as Helping Households to cut their energy bills
encouraged the use of smart meters to improve energy efficiency
However the deadline has been moved to 2025 as the technology was ready
Increasing the use of low carbon technologies such as wind farms
the UK Government is committed to creating 20% of energy by renewable
sources
In 2020 97% of Scotland’s electricity demand was met by
renewables
The Paris Agreement
outlined agreements between leaders of
developed and developing countries to limit climate change to below a 2 degrees Celsius rise
To prepare for extreme weather such as flooding
Defences could be built to hold back water
For example the Thames Flood Barrier which is a series of gates which can be raised to prevent flooding affecting London
This has successfully protected London from flooding on numerous occasions, However a second barrier may be needed to cope with flooding beyond 2070
