In the lead-up to the Post-2012 climate regime, Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) are increasingly being seen as one of the most promising tools for Non-Annex 1 countries to implement low-carbon development pathways, mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions and, under certain circumstances, to receive international support for the

A water quality assessment of Gn.Fuvahmulah has been conducted by EPA under Second National Communication (SNC) preparation works implemented by Ministry’s Climate Change Department.

Lack of proper infrastructure for registration of projects related with clean development mechanism is leading to increase in the cost of such ventures, says a study by industry body Ficci.

The 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (Rio de Janeiro) commits signatories to prevent ‘dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system’, leaving unspecified the level of global warming that is to be considered dangerous. But keeping the average rise in global temperature below 2°C has become the focus of international efforts crystallized first in the Copenhagen climate change conference (2009) and reaffirmed in Cancun (2010).

This paper suggests that vulnerable countries may benefit from considering strategies beyond the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol and highlights new proposals about reparations under international law.

REDD+ presents opportunities to cater to the varied needs and interests of a wide range of stakeholders.

In response to the Copenhagen Accord and subsequent request by the 16th and 17th Conferences of the Parties (COP16 and COP17) to the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change for additional submissions, more than 50 developing countries have submitted information on their Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs).

The purpose of this guide is to assist developing country negotiators and others involved in the negotiations on REDD-plus.

This publication focuses on the progress and challenges facing carbon capture and storage (CCS) and presents a comprehensive overview of the state of development of CCS projects and technologies, and of actions taken to facilitate the demonstration of those technologies at a large scale.

The Kyoto Protocol was intended to cut the greenhouse gas emissions of developed countries to 5 per cent less than they were in 1990, and this was to be achieved by the end of 2012. As that deadline approaches it is time to take stock of what has actually happened. There is some good news and some bad news: The bad news is that political solutions to mitigate global warming lack the ambition to deliver what the scientists demand—a limit on the increase in temperature of 28C.
