Identify and explain methods to mitigate environmental issues, including: (a) for climate change: planting trees, reducing livestock farming, decreasing fossil fuel use, and increasing hydrogen and renewable energy sources like wind and solar, (b) for acid rain: using catalytic converters in vehicles, lowering sulfur dioxide emissions by using low-sulfur fuels, and flue gas desulfurization with calcium oxide.

• This point belongs to Air quality and climate, especially Air quality and climate outcomes.
• You need to be able to identify and explain methods to mitigate environmental issues, including: (a) for climate change: planting trees, reducing livestock farming, decreasing fossil fuel use, and increasing hydrogen and renewable energy sources like wind and solar, (b) for acid rain: using catalytic converters in vehicles, lowering sulfur dioxide emissions by using low-sulfur fuels, and flue gas desulfurization with calcium oxide.
• The key ideas to know are State and Explain.
• Use the linked flashcards and practice questions to check recall, then practise applying the idea in an exam-style answer.
