There are lots of ways we are tackling the climate crisis, bringing down emissions and sucking carbon out of the atmosphere. But which method is the most cost-effective? For a given investment, which draws down the most carbon emissions? In this video I answer that question… and then talk about why that answer doesn’t necessarily mean much.
Text above is from original video description.
Summary:
- Currently, more carbon is being added to the earth’s atmosphere than is being removed by natural processes, leading to concerns raised by the IPCC.
- To combat this imbalance, the goal is to reach net zero emissions and eventually achieve net negative emissions.
- Project Drawdown has identified cost-effective climate solutions, with bike infrastructure being highlighted as one of the most financially efficient ways to reduce carbon emissions.
- Implementing solutions such as improved insulation, electric cars, water distribution efficiency, and bike infrastructure can have significant positive impacts on the environment and save costs in the long run.
