This report identifies scope for an integrated set of measures that could significantly increase the carbon savings from the UK transport sector, reducing transport emissions by 14% against 1990 baseline levels by 2020 in a cost-effective way. Key features of the approach are a focus on tackling either the largest or fastest growing areas of transport emissions and an

This Synthesis Report is based on the assessment carried out
by the three Working Groups (WGs) of the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC). It provides an integrated view of climate
change as the final part of the IPCC

This report contains the proceedings of the national workshop on forest fires, held at New Delhi on November 13 & 14, 2007.

The International Civil Aviation Organization recently adopted a programme to counter effects of global warming in the aviation industry. It, however, rejected eu proposals to cut carbon emissions made by the industry.

Excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers damages the environment. Emission of nitrous oxide from such fertilizers is a major source of agricultural greenhouse gases.

The Canadian government has reportedly decided to slash its expenses on wildlife protection and monitoring of ecosystems because of a financial crunch. It has decided to cut the budget for its various environmental programmes by 80 per cent and that for climate change by 40 per cent.

The last eco-warrior to win the Nobel peace prize, Wangari Maathai (a tree-planting conservationist who won in 2004), was barely known outside her native Kenya. Al Gore is a flashier shade of green. His trophy cabinet is already bulging-the Nobel medal will have to jostle for space with an Oscar and an Emmy, all won this year.

The purpose of this background paper prepared for the symposium on "Global Sustainability: a Nobel Cause' is to summarize and recall the main findings of the Fourth Assessment Report and to visualize the key messages by new results recently obtained with an innovative integrated assessment model at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.

This document is based on the national GHG inventories from Annex I Parties received by the secretariat by 21 September 2007. It shows the status of reporting of annual GHG inventories from Annex I Parties in 2007, and provides a summary of the latest available data on GHG emissions and removals from Annex I Parties for the period 1990

Greenhouse gas emissions from transport are a key contributor to global climate change. In addressing the impacts of climate change through sustainable transport instruments, cities are
