The paper considers the problem of climate change associated with technological activities. This problem is one of the most difficult facing the world in the 21st century. The main aspects of solving the problem of greenhouse gas reduction by revising economic strategies, production processes and educational approaches are identified. To date, man-made human activity leads to various types of environmental pollution. Sources of greenhouse gas emissions into the environment have been identified. The influence of individual sectors on climate change is considered. The paper also analyzes the possibility of implementing strategic projects to reduce greenhouse gases. The introduction into educational approaches is considered on the example of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, where the strategic project "Bauman Go Green" was created, implemented within the framework of the innovative program for the development of Russian universities "Priority 2030". There is also an example of metallurgical companies that are actively engaged in reducing the carbon footprint from the most polluting stages of production. Analyze priority areas for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in metallurgical companies. The priorities and currently existing methods for decarbonization of the economy in the Russian Federation are considered. The purpose of the study is to study the problem of climate change and possible solutions.

Keywords:greenhouse gases, carbon footprint, energy efficiency, decarbonization, climate change.
