This paper provides a brief overview of the outcome of the UN conference and a discussion of the implications of decisions made there in respect to the transport sector, and how transport can play a more defining role in addressing climate change.

CCS is often viewed to be a bridging technology into a future in which renewable energy sources prevail and energy is used as efficiently as possible. Before this future can be reached, emissions from coal-fired power plants and other fossil fuel sources have to be reduced to the greatest extent possible. For the time being, however, use of coal is on the rise. Such

The IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report puts the contribution of the solid waste and wastewater management sector to global greenhouse gas emissions at 2.7%, which might at first sight appear to be comparatively low.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen ended in an agreement by countries to cap the global temperature rise by committing to significant emission reductions, and to raise finance to kickstart action in the developing world to deal with climate change.

The fifth Climate Change Performance Index released by Germanwatch and Climate Action Network at Copenhagen. This is a comparison of the 57 industrialised countries and emerging economies.

With countries from around the world set to meet in Copenhagen to try to hammer out a post-2012 climate change agreement, no one would disagree that a U.S. commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions is essential to such a global pact. this paper argues that, on the U.S.

The objective of the periodic verification is to verify that actual monitoring systems and procedures are in compliance with the monitoring systems and procedures described in the monitoring 4th JI Verification of the project:

The topic of water availability and the possible effects of climate change on water resources are of paramount importance to the Central Asian countries. In the last decades, water supply security has turned out to be one of the major challenges for these countries. The supply initially ensured by snow and glaciers is increasingly being threatened by climate change.

The number of undernourished people in the world has set a scandalous new record of one billion in 2009, in spite of a record grain harvest in 2008. This book argues that the

The analysis of different global energy scenarios in part I of the report confirms that the exploitation of energy efficiency potentials and the use of renewable energies play a key role in reaching global CO2 reduction targets.
