Ahead of the September 23 UN meeting of world leaders to discuss climate change, The Economist magazine decided to do something they claim has never been attempted before.<\/p>\n

The magazine has compiled a list of the top 20 climate change mitigation measures put in place globally.<\/p>\n

Not surprising, nuclear power ranked third overall and was credited for reducing 2.2 billion tonnes of C02 annually, behind the Montreal Protocol and hydro power. Nuclear\u2019s climate change mitigation was estimated to be four times greater than all non-hydro renewable energy sources combined.<\/p>\n

\"To<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the International Atomic Energy Agency, nuclear power avoided the production of 2.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2010\u2014that is, emissions would have been 2.2 billion tonnes higher if the same amount of electricity had been produced by non-nuclear plants,\u201d The Economist reported.<\/p>\n

It added that the high rate at which new wind and solar capacity is being built will eat into this lead of nuclear and hydro \u201cbut it will take some time to overturn it.\u201d<\/p>\n
