Webinar on climate action for teachers and educators
Its main objective is to make the entire educational community aware of the issue, increasing what is currently a low level of awareness among Cape Verdean society of the causes and consequences of climate change and what the government and society are doing to face up to the challenges posed by a reality with increased […]
Global warming
Designates the anomalous increase in the planet’s average temperatures recorded in recent decades. It is mainly associated with human practices. The main cause is the intensification of the greenhouse effect, a natural phenomenon responsible for maintaining heat on Earth, and which is due to air pollution resulting from human practices. Predictions for the century XXI […]
Mitigation
Is an action in response to climate change that consists of reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, and increasing their sinks – natural systems, such as forests, that absorb more carbon than they emit. Thus, interventions in terms of mitigation contribute to minimizing the greenhouse effect caused by these gases and reducing global warming […]
Climate change
Long-term transformations in temperature and climate patterns. These changes may be natural (due, for example, to variations in the solar cycle). But since the century XIX that human activities have been the main driver of climate change, mainly due to the increase in the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas and […]
Climate action
Climate action refers to efforts made to combat climate change and its impacts. These efforts involve reducing greenhouse gases emissions (mitigation) and/or adopting measures to prepare for and/or respond to the current effects of climate change and the impacts expected in the future (adaptation). To prevent climate change from reaching dangerous levels, the international community […]
