However, no single mitigation strategy is likely to be universally accepted or adopted. Hence, these sessions will evaluate several approaches to the problem including chemical, geological, and other mitigation strategies. The feasibility of each option can be different for various countries and regions. For example, CO2 remediation using photosynthetic bacteria may be a viable alternative in the desert or arid areas. National policy and regional plans are needed to increase the rate of fixation of carbon.
Progress is underway worldwide in efforts to sequester carbon and to reduce greenhouse gas emission.
International benchmarks are being established to measure progress towards these goals in each region and country. The international bodies which provide multilateral funding for development are participating in efforts to coordinate human activities that could disrupt the availability of clean air, clean water and stable climate. Progress is underway to pay attention to local, regional, and global environmental impacts during the planning, design, and implementation phases of bilateral and multilateral projects. Institutional and Life-long Learning, Strategies for Promotion of Global Change, and the Role of the Media are included in these sessions. Education and basic changes in consumer and producer attitudes are needed to reduce pollution and waste, improve resource utilization, and eventually mitigate global warming.
