greenhouse gas reduction
Lowering atmospheric pollutants
Greenhouse gas reduction refers to efforts to decrease emissions of gases that trap heat in Earth's atmosphere—primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
These reductions target sources like power plants, vehicles, and industrial processes: The company committed to a 50% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030.
Policy discussions often frame climate goals in terms of percentage reductions from baseline years.
