Other stuff:


I used MIT's climate policy simulator to order its climate policies from least impactful to most impactful. You can see the results here.



You can transport the energy from solar farms in the middle of the desert. It would require investment in high voltage power grids to efficiently transfer the power across countries though.

The issue with deserts is that the extreme heat decreases efficiency, (not significantly enough for it to not work) so it maybe more practical to localize solar farms.

My point is that we have the space, the resources, and the know how to create a green society. Our systems and society are the problem.




Current knowledge:

Albedo effect

Keeling curve

Blue Ocean Event



13.1

Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries



13.2 Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning

  • Liquid tree!

These are a looot of maintenance, and use a lot of water. Probably only best in an area that is close to an ocean or something. https://worldbiomarketinsights.com/a-liquid-tree-scientists-in-serbia-make-incredible-innovation/ Liquid trees could be used in cities and areas that can’t have trees. Planting trees is bad in areas such as deserts, since carbon is stored differently. There could be different shapes for liquid trees as well. Here’s places these could go:

  • Line them up on the sides of buildings as benches. This would help with accessibility for people with disabilities who may need to sit, as well any people who want to sit- this would be taking our space back! Also have bench lines for parks.

  • Line them up vertically on the sides of buildings

  • Put them on top of buildings

  • Line them up along roads and freeways; see if they can be designed in a way to reduce the damage and chance of death in crashes

  • Lots of people have backyards- see how many people would be okay with having one or more in their backyard, offer benches just like in the cities!

  • These could be lined up at the perimeter between developments and natural spaces to prevent fires as a moat- it would stop fires from ground creeping, but not from embers.

13.3 Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning


13.a

Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible



Potential Solutions

See Sustainable Development Class in 4.7


13.b Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities
