Greenhouse gas emissions are one of the main drivers of climate change. They come from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's temperature to rise.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential to slowing down climate change. We can do this by using less energy, switching to cleaner energy sources and planting trees. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help keep our planet cool.
