emissions reduction
Lowering carbon output
Emissions reduction is the effort to decrease the release of pollutants—especially greenhouse gases—into the atmosphere.
The term dominates climate policy discussions: The treaty commits nations to aggressive emissions reduction targets.
Strategies include shifting to renewable energy, improving efficiency, and carbon capture.
Often shortened to simply reductions in context.
