Carbon dioxide levels can be lowered by cutting emissions at the source — switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, electrifying transport and industry, and reducing deforestation. Enhancing and restoring natural carbon sinks such as forests, wetlands and soils locks CO2 into biomass and ground carbon. Technological removal — carbon capture and storage (CCS) at power plants and direct air capture systems — can remove CO2 already in the atmosphere. Strong policies (carbon pricing, regulation) and behavioral changes (less meat, lower consumption, conservation) accelerate these actions.
