Les mesures peuvent être préventives et leur évaluation s'opère ainsi en terme de «CO2 évité» : il s'agit principalement de réduire la consommation d'énergie et d'améliorer l'efficacité dans la conversion ou l'utilisation de l'énergie; d'opérer un transfert depuis des énergies fortement émettrices de CO2 à des énergies générant peu ou quasiment pas d'émissions (énergies renouvelables); d'agir dans le domaine de l'utilisation des terres pour limiter les émissions propres de ce secteur (c'est-à-dire de conserver les stocks existants de carbone) ou celles dues à l'utilisation des combustibles fossiles (substitution énergétique ou matériaux). 4, record 1, French, - CO2%20%C3%A9vit%C3%A9
