THE BASICS
02
The Greenhouse Effect
A natural process — intensified by human activity.
The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when
certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the heat
from the sun near the surface. This process keeps
Earth’s surface warmer than it would be without it. It
is similar to how a glass greenhouse keeps plants
warm.

ALTERNATIVE PROTEIN
Methane and land use
Insects as one option
● Cattle produce methane.
● Mealworms and black soldier fly larvae can be processed into
● Livestock needs land, water and feed.
protein ingredients.
● Potentially less land than cattle, depending on production
methods.
The WEF has discussed alternative proteins as part of more sustainable food systems.

THE RESPONSE
05
The Great Reset: Possible Solutions
Klaus Schwab and the WEF introduced the initiative in 2020.
01
Renewable energy
02
Governments should invest in renewable energy
03
Efficient buildings
Cleaner transport
Governments should reduce emissions from public transport
04
Governments should build energy-effective buildings
Sustainable food
Support lower-impact agriculture and alternative proteins.
The idea: make economic development more sustainable and socially responsible.

Benefits and Challenges
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
CHALLENGES
● Lower greenhouse gas emissions
● High investment costs
● Innovation and new green jobs
● Effect can be different from one country to another
● More efficient use of resources
● It is difficult to create strict regulations for ecology
A broad economic idea is not a complete climate solution: outcomes depend on real action.
