Abstract
The global aim of achieving carbon neutrality, reducing waste and limiting global warming through reducing greenhouse gases has been the most crucial aim for humanity to try and achieve. This could be done through mitigation using different methods, whether it is renewable energy adoption, waste-to-energy systems, recent negative emissions technologies, or even through carbon taxing. The aim is to scale up ambition and achieve the Paris agreement regarding the global warming limitation as well as the net-zero emissions target.[4] This paper addresses the problem that Costa Rica has been trying to tackle and how the country has been trying to achieve carbon neutrality and face the co2 emissions problem and the causing effects by implementing the mitigation policy by different methods and
solutions. In this paper, there will be examination for the impact of three evidence- based case studies in Costa Rica. That includes the use of renewable energy,
Reforestation and promotion of electric vehicles and how that affected their Co2 emissions through the years. These different studies represent different mitigation key pillars and different approaches in addressing their problem with the and it shows the variety that mitigation offers in tackling these problems. The paper also includes other different solutions that they could apply in order to tackle this problem and achieve carbon neutrality as well as recommendations for the future regarding brand new technologies that are yet to be applied.
