Greenhouse gases are emitted from a variety of sources.

The Case for Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Inventorying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions methods to estimate GHG emissions from sources or sequestration by sinks

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

For 2020, emissions of all these gases are projected to increase and their importance relative to other gases is expected to grow.

A country with a higher elasticity of greenhouse gas emissions would therefore share a lower burden in greenhouse gas emission limitation.

quot Domestic emission quot means emissions of greenhouse gases that take place within the territory of a country.

(b) Historical share of greenhouse gas emissions

Projecting global GHG emissions methods to estimate future global GHG emissions or removals by sinks

B. Projections of GHG emissions and sinks

Trends in CO2 emissions from transport, total CO2 emissions and total GHG emissions

The energy sector was the largest source of GHG emissions for 70 Parties, whereas for 45 Parties the agriculture sector was the largest and for six the waste sector was the largest.

A number of Parties (e.g., CHE, GBR, SWE) point out that measures that reduce emissions of some gases may increase them for others.

Impact on greenhouse gas emissions sinks (optional)

II. INVENTORIES OF ANTHROPOGENIC EMISSIONS AND REMOVALS

A. Joint implementation and greenhouse gas emissions trading

The GHG inventory is based on the Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and default emissions factors, although CORINAIR CORINAIR is the component dealing with air emissions inventories of the European Community apos s CORINE (Coordinated Information System on the State of Natural Resources and the Environment).

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

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

Net greenhouse gas emissions down 82 percent in absolute tonnage.

(d) Fuel switching to less greenhouse gas emitting sources

(c) Fuel switching to less greenhouse gas emitting sources

Updated information on greenhouse gas emissions and projections

(c) To make projections of GHGs in a more consistent manner and

Sectoral synthesis Seventy initial national communications indicated that the energy sector was the largest source of GHG emissions for 45 Parties it was the agriculture sector and for six the waste sector.

4. Inventories of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and removals

The emissions of other GHGs are expected to grow significantly.

A. Joint implementation and greenhouse gas emissions trading 44 46

This is what the U.K. government target on carbon and greenhouse emissions looks like.

Parties shall establish greenhouse gas emissions baselines as the average of emissions for the years _ to _ .

Categories of sources of GHG emissions or their sinks corresponding to the IPCC guidelines nomenclature are given in italics.

Several vehicles for offsetting GHG emissions exist such as purchasing emission credits from stand alone projects, from a carbon fund, or from an emission trading scheme.

(g) For sectors emitting large quantities of greenhouse gases, an outline of which level of government has responsibility for implementing which policies and measures that have an impact on greenhouse gas emissions and

7.5 quot Anthropogenic emission quot means the total emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere within the territory of a Party caused by human activity during a concrete period.

quot Anthropogenic emission quot means the total emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere within the territory of a Party caused by human activity during a concrete period.

Action is needed in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In order to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, there are a number of alternatives, inter alia

Updated information on greenhouse gas emissions and projections

As these emissions are considered as part of the GHG emissions of the session they may be offset twice.

(b) An indicator reflecting level of greenhouse gas emissions, defined as the share of CO2 equivalent emissions per capita

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.

In order to promote the early implementation of a pilot greenhouse gas emissions trading system, UNCTAD and the Earth Council recently launched the Policy Forum on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading.
