Mitigation
Mitigation aims to reduce the extent of climate change by taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop carbon sinks (stores of carbon that do not decompose to produce carbon dioxide).
There are a number of global treaties that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and Natural England is partnering a variety of stakeholders in UK initiatives to reduce the long-term risks from climate change.
