The urgent need to address climate change has propelled nations worldwide to adopt and implement diverse strategies aimed at reducing carbon emissions. This paper presents a comprehensive review and analysis of global policies designed to curb carbon emissions, evaluating their effectiveness in mitigating the impacts of climate change. By synthesizing information from various regions and assessing the multifaceted approaches employed, this review offers insights into the current state of carbon emission reduction strategies on the global stage. The analysis encompasses a thorough examination of policy frameworks, regulatory measures, and market-based mechanisms adopted by nations to achieve carbon emission reduction targets. It explores the nuanced interplay between governmental interventions, industry initiatives, and international collaborations, recognizing the interconnectedness of efforts in a shared global environment. Additionally, the paper delves into the effectiveness of these strategies by considering key indicators such as emission reductions, technological advancements, and societal impact. By evaluating the success stories and identifying challenges faced by different countries, the review seeks to distill lessons that can inform future policy development and implementation. The global transition towards renewable energy sources, sustainable practices, and innovative technologies is a central theme in the analysis. As nations strive to strike a balance between economic growth and environmental responsibility, the review highlights notable initiatives and best practices that showcase the feasibility of achieving substantial carbon emission reductions without compromising developmental goals. In conclusion, this global policy review and analysis provide a comprehensive understanding of the strategies employed to reduce carbon emissions worldwide. By critically examining the effectiveness of these approaches, the findings contribute valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on sustainable environmental practices, informing policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers alike in their collective pursuit of a low-carbon future.
