One of the major challenges facing the world today is the issue of climate change. Like you are aware, the major contributing factor to this climate change is the emissions from fossil fuels and other non-renewable sources of energy.
In your opinion, how do you think the world can curb the problem of climate changes or global warming largely associated with carbon emissions? Don't forget to factor in feasibility and economics of the process as well.
This is a good source for putting climate change and emissions in context:

The way this works in practice is: trees function as "carbon sinks". Forests absorb and store carbon. Roughly 50% of the world's historical forests having been cut down, reduces the planet's capacity to absorb and store (sequester) carbon significantly.
Afforestation -- reseeding and replanting the world's forests is likely our best first step towards combating climate change. Beyond that new types of concrete which absorb carbon and other measures might make a difference.
It would be good if we could prevent future deforestation which would worsen climate change but the way things are going it doesn't appear likely that will happen.
