Climate Change Mitigation
This lecture covers topics related to polar and alpine climate change, mitigation strategies, and climate engineering. It discusses the greenhouse effect, radiative transfer, aerosols & clouds, feedback mechanisms, climate sensitivity, and paleoclimate. The lecture also explores the Paris Agreement, emission gaps, IPCC reports, climate scenarios, tipping elements, carbon budget, extreme events, regional climate change, and mitigation and adaptation strategies. It delves into the impact of Arctic permafrost carbon, Arctic fires, polar tipping elements, and the state of climate action towards 2030 targets.
