Establishing or buying equipment to generate such energy is expensive. Unless the equipment is purchased and installed by the government (directly or through subsidies), the use of such methods for mitigating climate change could economically hurt people in low-income communities.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>b) Use zero-carbon transportation<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>Vulnerable people usually do not have a choice in the type of transportation they use. Many low-income communities rely on cheap public transport, which uses fossil fuels. Most vehicles that use batteries or solar power are expensive, and the poor cannot afford to buy them.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>c)\tStop deforestation<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>Forest conservation is one of the factors that can mitigate climate change. Unfortunately, many vulnerable and poor communities rely on forest products as their source of energy for cooking and heating.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>d)\tUse less synthetic fertiliser<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>Many poor farmers in the world rely on synthetic fertilisers for their agriculture.
