Overview

Low-carbon economies aim to reduce GHG emissions through technological and structural changes. These changes include improving energy efficiency, increasing the use of renewable energy, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Low-carbon technologies

Low-carbon technologies are a key component of the transition to a low-carbon economy. These technologies include solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity, and nuclear power.

Low-carbon transport
