What policy measures should the government enforce in order to minimise global warming ?

The policy measures that the government should enforce in order to minimise global warming are:

1. Educating children to live a sustainable lifestyle — We need to educate the children that genuine happiness lies in a less competitive and more cooperative society. Consuming more and buying more must not be the aim of life. For a sustainable life, we must make full use of what we have. The materialistic gains give only temporary happiness.
2. Controlling population through family planning, welfare reforms and empowerment of women — The world population is expected to increase from 7.1 billion in 2012 to 9.15 billion by the year 2050, with most of the growth taking place in developing countries. This needs to be controlled. Following measures can be taken:
   1. free and easy access to family planning
   2. welfare provisions to encourage smaller families
   3. empowerment of women and freedom to choose their career (because educated women are more conscious about family planning due to their career commitments.)
