Sikkim climate inventory and monitoring system
Sikkim climate inventory and monitoring system
Sikkim has embarked on the path of developing strategies to remain carbon neutral. The Sikkim Climate Inventory Monitoring System (SCIMS) is a first step in this direction. This brochure presents an overview of the SCIMS as well as key findings from its GHG inventory: Energy sector emissions have increased from 182 thousand tonnes CO2-eq in 2005 to 326.8 thousand tonnes CO2-eq. in 2015; The IPPU sector emitted 0.16 thousand tonnes CO2-eq. in 2015 as compared to 0.39 thousand tonnes CO2-eq. in 2005; Agriculture sector emissions have decreased from 163.99 in 2005 to 155.97 in 2015 Co2-eq. thousand tonnes; and GHG emissions from the waste sector increased from 33.01 thousand tonnes CO2-eq. in 2005 to 53.05 thousand tonnes CO2-eq. in the year 2015.
