Climate Change Mitigation at the Individual Level: Harnessing the 5Rs to Curb Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Author(s) Dr. Hiral Jani, Dr. Ankit Bhojak
Country India
Abstract In the face of escalating climate change, identifying effective individual-level actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has become increasingly vital. This study investigates the impact of personal choices, particularly in consumption, energy use, transportation, and diet on GHG emissions, within the framework of the 5Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recreate. The research adopts a multi-method approach, including a comprehensive review of existing literature, analysis of secondary data on individual behavioural patterns, and evaluation of government recommendations and educational content in Indian school curricula. Emissions reduction estimates for various lifestyle changes are critically examined to identify the most impactful personal strategies. The study also explores behavioural antecedents influencing residential energy conservation and sustainable transport decisions, such as mode of commuting and grocery shopping practices. Findings highlight that informed consumer choices guided by environmental education and the 5Rs framework can substantially mitigate emissions. The paper advocates for integrating individual action into broader climate strategies, particularly in the Indian context, and underscores the transformative potential of grassroots engagement in achieving climate resilience.
