The overall emissions generated from the city of Pune in the year 2010-11 were 4,661,064.20 tonnes of CO2e. This translates to about 1.46 tonnes of CO2e per capita in the same year reveals this first-ever carbon footprint report for the city.
As South Asia becomes more and more industrialized, populations are moving from an agrarian lifestyle to one that is increasingly urbanized. Increased industrialization and the growth of urban areas are generally linked to deterioration in air quality.
The objective of this report is to help improve the understanding of past greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trends in the energy sector from the demand or end-user side. To do this, the report develops a methodology to redistribute emissions from energy industries to the final users (by sector) of that energy.
This study by Sarath Guttikunda and Puja Jawahar focuses on the energy and emissions outlook for the transport sector in India which could effectively result in a co-benefits framework for better air quality management in the cities & national climate policy dialogue.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) project have released a report, titled “Impacts of Megacities on Air Pollution and Climate.” The report provides an initial assessment of available information on air pollution and climate impacts in megacities globally.
The Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science & Technology, Environment & Forests, present this two hundred and thirtieth report on steps taken by various sectors of the Indian economy to control pollution.
This report maps in a comprehensive and detailed manner the first-ever carbon footprint of Indian aviation for 2011. It identifies the main stakeholders of Indian aviation involved in the creation of this carbon footprint, introduces the data collection process, and analyses calculation and data reliability issues.
The synthesis and assessment is prepared in two parts. Part I provides information to allow comparisons of GHG inventory data across Annex I Parties, as well as descriptions of common methodological issues. Part II provides a preliminary analysis of individual Annex I Party inventories.
The National Strategy and Action Plan for Low Carbon Development was prepared to enable Bhutan to fulfill its commitment of remaining carbon neutral. In other words, it will help in ensuring that national emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHG) remain less than the national sequestration capacity.
Cities around the world have identified the economic benefits from tackling the effects of climate change, according to this new report released by the CDP. It is based on the carbon & water strategies & actions disclosed to CDP by 73 cities spanning the globe.
