CO2e emissions are equivalent emissions of all the greenhouse gases and particles that cause warming and converted to CO2.

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

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

7.4 quot Greenhouse gas quot means any gas with a greenhouse effect not controlled by the Montreal Protocol for which a global warming potential is set forth in Annex C of this Protocol.

quot Greenhouse gas quot means any gas with a greenhouse effect not controlled by the Montreal Protocol for which a GWP is set forth in Annex C of this Protocol.

Greenhouse gases

Monitoring of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

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

(i) Monitoring of GHGs in the atmosphere

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.

The Measurement of Greenhouse Gases

In Australia, a programme called Greenhouse Friendly provides businesses with an opportunity to market greenhouse neutral products or services, deliver greenhouse gas abatement and give Australian consumers greater purchasing choices.

Substantive inaction by some large greenhouse gas emitting countries represents a serious threat to our existence.

23.1 All sources and sinks of greenhouse gases should be included where practical and cost effective.

quot Greenhouse gas quot means any greenhouse gas for which a global warming potential (GWP) is set forth in Annex C of this Protocol.

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

Climate research dates back at least two centuries, to Joseph Fourier s discovery of the effects of greenhouse gases on planetary climates in 1859, John Tyndall demonstrated in his laboratory which gases cause this effect. Detailed radiation measurements on the ground and from satellites have since proved the greenhouse effect s existence.

Of the six greenhouse gases identified by the Kyoto protocol1 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change2, carbon dioxide and methane, both carbon compounds, are the two that contribute most to the greenhouse effect.

The Case for Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Agricultural sources of greenhouse gases

Global warming of the Earth atmosphere system is being brought about by the greenhouse effect.

7 National GHG inventories are referred to simply as inventories in these guidelines for the sake of brevity.

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

This means that the concentrations of all greenhouse gases should also be stabilized.

Many environmental groups provide information on the greenhouse effect and the environmental consequences of energy use to individuals.

Greenhouse Gas Technology Information Exchange

However they also act as greenhouse gases.

Parties shall cooperate in the establishment of a long term goal with respect to atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.

(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

The Executive Board shall consider ways to simplify the information requirements needed to determine that one or more carbon pools and or greenhouse gas emissions can be excluded from the estimation of the baseline net greenhouse gas removals by sinks and or the actual net greenhouse gas removals by sinks.

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

Other greenhouse gases (GHG) are not subject to a specific target.

Investment appraisals should also reflect greenhouse gas externalities.

13. It should be recalled that the largest share of historical and current global emissions of greenhouse gases originated in the developed countries.

It will occur without adding any more greenhouse gasses.

(b) Historical share of greenhouse gas emissions

a) Includes indirect GHG leakages.

A need was expressed for equipment for monitoring GHG and climate.

(c) Creation of the system of monitoring of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.

Any use of GWPs should be based on the effects of the greenhouse gases over a 100 year time horizon.

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

Almost all economic activities affect emissions and some affect the removals of greenhouse gases.

Parties included in Annex I to the Convention, in a comprehensive manner, covering all greenhouse gases, their emissions by sources and removals by sinks and all relevant sectors, shall

(a) Decided that the highest priority should be given to activities related to the application of the methods for GHG inventories and that high priority be given to projections of GHG emissions and sinks and
