This study establishes a baseline inventory of the number, types, and approximate distribution of DG sets in use in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal and estimates air pollution emissions, including black carbon, from these generators.
Air pollution from Europe's largest industrial facilities cost society at least €59 billion, and possibly as much as €189 billion in 2012, according to an assessment published by the European Environment Agency (EEA). Half of these damage costs were caused by just 1 % of the industrial plants.
The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) has undertaken, as mandated by the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP), a review of the 'Guidelines for the Technical Review of Greenhouse Gas Inventories from Parties Included in Annex I to the Convention.' Based on discussions at SBSTA 40, submissions from parties and the
This paper assessed Japan’s fair carbon budget consistent with the 2 °C target between 1990 and 2100 under three frequently referred effort-sharing approaches: Converging Per Capita Emissions (CPE); Common but Differentiated Convergence (CDC); and Greenhouse Development Rights (GDRs), as well as the consequent GHG emission pathways up to 2100 fo
The World Resources Institute’s Sustainability Initiative seeks to align the Institute’s business practices with its mission. Walking the talk on sustainability, a new report discloses the 2012 GHG inventory results and discusses GHG reduction projects and other sustainability projects completed in the last year.
According to the latest World Health Organisation estimates on "Ambient (outdoor) air pollution in cities database 2014", Patna is the second most polluted city in the world, in terms of PM2.5 emissions.
This paper comprehensively reviews and assesses Japan’s climate change mitigation policies. Its objectives are threefold. First, it assesses the ambition level of the Warsaw Target in comparison with the Copenhagen Pledge and earlier 2020 mitigation targets.
This report is the annual submission of the greenhouse gas inventory of the European Union to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. It presents greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2012 for EU-28, EU-15, individual Member States and economic sector.
The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), at its thirtyseventh session, agreed on the work programme on the revision of the guidelines for the review of biennial reports and national communications, including national inventory reviews, for developed country Parties.
The Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks tracks the national trend in greenhouse gas emissions and removals back to 1990. The key findings of the 1990-2012 U.S. Inventory include: In 2012, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions totaled 6,526 million metric tons CO2 Eq.; U.S. emissions decreased by 3.4 percent from 2011 to 2012.
