Wildfire seasons are 80 days longer. Category 4 and 5 hurricanes have doubled
in frequency since 1970.
Solutions: Mitigation
Strategies
Renewable Energy
1 Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal energy sources.

Energy Efficiency
2 Improve buildings, transportation, and industry.

Carbon Capture
3 Technologies to store carbon.

Renewable energy is 30% of global electricity. Building retrofits can cut energy
use by 20-40%.
Solutions: Adaptation Strategies
Resilient Infrastructure 1
Withstand extreme weather.

2 Drought-Resistant Crops
Improve water management.

Ecosystem Restoration 3
Wetlands, forests for carbon.

Forests absorb 2.6 billion tonnes of CO2 each year. Israel's water technology sector is worth $2.2 billion per year.
Individual Actions:
Making a Difference
Reduce Footprint Sustainable
Eat less meat, use public Products
transport, reduce travel. Support certified businesses.

Climate Action
Vote, contact officials, advocate.

Beef production has high emissions. Look for B Corp, Fair Trade, and organic
