Abstract

Climate change has been one of the most pressing issues of this century, and it requires urgent and concerted global action. In the meantime, technology has become a critical tool in mitigating and adapting to its impacts. This essay, through a method of literature review, explores how various technological innovations, such as renewable energy, carbon capture, artificial intelligence, and smart infrastructure, play a role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, fostering climate resilience, and promoting energy transitions. Through case studies and secondary research, this paper demonstrates how a wide range of technological innovations help reduce carbon emissions and strengthen climate resilience. The findings underlined the importance of technological innovations in transitioning to a low-carbon economy while also revealing some existing barriers such as high cost, policy gaps, and social resistance. Finally, the essay argues that global cooperation, a strong policy framework, and equitable use of technological solutions are essential for further success.
