Climate policy

Climate policy refers to government actions and international agreements designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help society adapt to the effects of climate change that are already happening. These policies can include things like setting limits on pollution, investing in renewable energy like solar and wind power, or taxing carbon emissions to discourage fossil fuel use. Essentially, climate policy is how societies translate scientific evidence about climate change into practical rules and programs that actually shape how we produce energy, use transportation, and manage our resources.
