Which of the following best describes economic mitigation potential? The potential for developing countries to reduce emissions without considering economic factors.The financial resources required to adapt to the impacts of climate change in vulnerable regions.The total amount of greenhouse gas emissions that can be reduced globally through cost-effective measures and technologies.The economic benefits gained by industries that continue to produce high levels of emissions despite environmental regulations.

Climate Change Mitigation is defined by the United Nations as a human intervention to reduce the sources of greenhouse gas emissions primarily linked to human actions of production and consumption (UNESCO/UNEP, 2011). Among the intervention, investment and development of new renewable energy and clean energy, alteration of energy-propelled production and consumption models, as well as advocacy for the notion of of low-carbon economy lifestyle and social value system are considered to be the necessary measures to actively respond to climate change. As a result,
