Any entity that takes in more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases is identified as a carbon sink. 

Carbon sink and carbon sequestration are integral components in the global carbon cycle, playing a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Changes in Climate Mitigation involve actions taken to reduce or prevent the emissions of greenhouse gases. 

Additionally, the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) provides a comprehensive assessment of countries’ environmental policies and outcomes, including their management of air quality

Climate sensitivity is usually described as the increase in global temperature when the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere doubles from pre-industrial levels. 

The natural occurrence known as the greenhouse effect acts as a protective layer, enveloping and heating the Earth’s lower atmosphere, maintaining a temperature conducive to the survival of living organisms. 

Climate change and global warming represent one of the most pressing challenges of our time, with far-reaching consequences for both the environment and society.

Climate change refers to enduring alterations in temperature and weather conditions over an extended period. 

Soil conservation encompasses a comprehensive array of measures designed to shield the soil from erosion and depletion.

Desertification is a type of land degradation that transforms fertile land into a desert, causing the encroachment of sand from the desert into neighboring regions.
