In this episode of The Climate Conscious Podcast, host Derval Barzey continues our mission to break down complex climate jargon into understandable terms. This episode covers the letters K through N.
K is for Kyoto Protocol:
We explore the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty established in 1997 aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally.
Keeling Curve: a scientific graph that tracks the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and a fundamental indicator of climate change
L is for Loss and Damage:
Revisit our previous episode with Christianne Zakour examining Loss and Damage.

M is for Mitigation:
Climate Mitigation involves actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions including transitioning to cleaner energy systems and implementing carbon capture technologies to limit global temperature rise.
N is for Net Zero:
Net Zero is achieved when greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by removals. Achieving net zero by 2050 is crucial to meeting the Paris Agreement targets.
Nature-Based Solutions:
The episode briefly revisits nature-based solutions discussed in episode 70 with Dr. Deborah Villaroel Lamb.

Nationally Determined Commitments (NDCs):
Finally, we discuss NDCs, which are national plans outlining each country’s commitment to emissions reductions under the Paris Agreement.
To learn about their country's NDCs visit the UNFCCC's NDC registry.
Special Announcement:
We also announce an upcoming collaboration with Black Earth Podcast for a World Environment Day celebration on June 5. Stay tuned to our social media profiles for more details.
