The power sector carries a considerably great burden of the CO2 emission reductions required to address climate change, a feature common to many scenarios of emissions abatement. These reductions will only be possible if existing plants are replaced with more efficient and less-emitting types of plants over the coming decades.
CO2 emissions from cement production currently represent about 5% of anthropogenic global CO2 emissions. Since 2002, CSI member companies have collectively made significant progress on measuring, reporting and mitigating their CO2 emissions, and
This fifth IEA report under the clean energy technology roadmap series on wind energy discusses the rationale for investing in wind energy, actions and milestones envisioned for its development and the policy frameworks.
The International Transport Forum 2009 took place at a very difficult time, with finances drying up, companies failing, supply chains weakened, and protectionism on the increase. There are real fears that the transport sector will be seriously damaged by this sudden and profound downturn, with important implications for economies and societies.
This handbook was conceived as a practical tool to be used by decision-makers and practitioners in both tourism sector and ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management). It provides a kind of
This document says that climate change poses two fundamental challenges for the transport sector: transport will have to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and it will require investment in order to adapt to impacts of climate change.
Cities represent a challenge and an opportunity for climate change policy. As the hubs of economic activity, cities generate the bulk of GHG emissions and are thus important to mitigation strategies. Urban planning will shape future trends and the concentration of population, socio-economic activity, poverty
