The Case for Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Box 1. Reduction of greenhouse gases through the use of ethanol in Brazil

To be eligible for accreditation under the Greenhouse Friendly programme, abatement projects must generate permanent, verifiable greenhouse gas emission reductions, avoidances or sequestration.

General description There is a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is leading to climate change.

Action is needed in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Parties to the Convention which have greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments must quantify, report, reduce and mitigate their national emissions of greenhouse gases.

Table 8. Contributions of reductions in emissions of individual gases to total GHG emissions reduction, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2020 (percentage)

I think it's a bird's nest on the ground.

They also present potential co benefits for GHG abatement.

(a) Development of best practice guidelines for greenhouse gas emission reductions

(iii) Reducing the long term costs of low greenhouse gas emitting energy technologies.

GHG emissions in 1994 were 20 per cent lower than in 1990.

(h) Information relating to the application of and experience with indicators for performance in greenhouse gas mitigation.

Under a rigorous certification process, the cradle to grave greenhouse gas emissions are fully offset by accredited greenhouse abatement projects.

supported projects directly related to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the enhancement of greenhouse gas sinks.

California is basically the equivalent of Europe, in this.

Many Parties provided lists of abatement and sequestration projects.

Twenty nine activities related to energy account for 9 per cent of the GHG abatement effect.

(b) Reduce its anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by _ per cent of their 1990 levels by 2005 and

(d) Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in energy production, processing, transportation and distribution

This would facilitate farmers' efforts to minimize greenhouse gas emissions.

(c) Further reduce its anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by _ per cent of their 1990 levels by 2010.

(b) Reduce their anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by 20 per cent of their 1990 levels by 2005 and

(b) The basis for calculating costs and GHG mitigation effects is often insufficiently explained.

Local governments have also strengthened their resolve to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

New Zealand also welcomes the Secretary General's focus on the need for enhanced action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, including through commitments by all major greenhouse gas emitters.

(c) Further reduce their anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases by 20 per cent of their 1990 levels by 2010.

These projects are aimed not only at improving energy efficiency but also at reducing pollution, including the emission of greenhouse gases.

To this end, it must draw up a National Plan for limiting and reducing anthropogenic emissions by sources and enhancing removal by sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases.

A range of other measures clearly delivers sustainable development as well as GHG benefits.

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through renewable sources of energy, non food production and carbon storage

Romania has no voluntary quantified target for the reduction of GHG emissions.

Recognizing the need to avoid the creation of quot greenhouse gas polluter havens quot , renewed emphasis is placed on the need for the quantification, reporting, reduction and mitigation of emissions of greenhouse gases, to be conducted at the national level.

It would continue to provide assistance for programmes and projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, facilitate adaptation to climate change and reduce poverty.

The upcoming Montreal Climate Conference must take serious decisions on future actions to halt climate change, in which the largest historical producers of greenhouse gases must immediately reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

(c) Reduce energy losses and greenhouse gas emissions from the production, transport and distribution of energy

Greenhouse gases

(c) Fuel switching to less greenhouse gas emitting sources

Monitoring of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

(i) Monitoring of GHGs in the atmosphere

The big opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is actually in urbanizing the suburbs.

Most AIJ under the pilot phase are relatively small in terms of investment and their individual contribution to GHG abatement is limited.

For example ISO 14064 on Greenhouse gases, US DOE 1605(b) on General Guidelines for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reporting, WRI WBCSD on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.

Her country fully intended to ratify the Kyoto Protocol and was implementing measures to reduce greenhouse gases.

There, we will have the opportunity to adopt effective mechanisms to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beyond 2012.
