Climate Change Terminology - CSV
Climate Change Terminology is a systematic compilation of specialized terms related to global warming and climate change issues. It covers terms widely used in the climate change field, from basic concepts such as greenhouse gases, carbon neutrality, and IPCC to countermeasure methods such as mitigation, adaptation, carbon offsetting, and emissions trading. These terms play important roles in international climate change frameworks, the Paris Agreement, and national warming countermeasure policies.
