Interdisciplinary Strategies for Climate Change Mitigation and Policy Implementation

Abstract

Climate change represents one of the most pressing global challenges, necessitating coordinated and interdisciplinary approaches for effective mitigation and policy implementation. This paper examines strategies integrating environmental science, economics, social policy, and technology to address climate change. A mixed-method approach was employed, including systematic literature review, case studies of national and municipal climate action plans, and quantitative analysis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, renewable energy adoption, and socio-economic impacts. Findings indicate that interdisciplinary strategies—combining scientific research, technological innovation, economic incentives, and policy frameworks—yield measurable reductions in emissions, enhance resilience, and support sustainable development. Challenges identified include governance fragmentation, financial limitations, and socio-political resistance. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration among governments, industries, academia, and communities to ensure effective climate change mitigation and sustainable policy implementation.
