Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'climate' + 'change' names the problem and 'solution' denotes a remedy, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer it denotes a method to address climate change. This is a standard, cross-linguistically common noun-noun compound construction, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Climate change solution is like saying the big problem of climate change needs a solution — a tool or action to 'fix' it. Imagine planting trees or using wind power as simple pictures of things that 'reduce' the harm, so the phrase means a method to lower the causes or impacts of climate change.
