Currently, over a quarter of the world’s primary energy supply comes from coal. Since the rich world has already created its coal infrastructure, the increased use of coal in China and India is now under scrutiny. In 1980, rich countries used over 65 per cent of the world’s coal; in 2000 their share was roughly 50 per cent. By 2005, this figure fell to 38 per cent as consumption in China and India grew. <br>
Fraser place may someday loom large in the annals of environmental history. Completed in Shenzhen in 2005, the crescent-shaped service apartment is China's first green commercial building. The windows are designed to capture breezes, reducing the need for air conditioning. Rainwater runs off the roof and into an irrigation system for the surrounding gardens.
The Kyoto Protocol is a symbolically important expression of governments' concern about climate change. But as an instrument for achieving emissions reductions, it has failed1. It has produced no demonstrable reductions in emissions or even in anticipated emissions growth. And it pays no more than token attention to the needs of societies to adapt to existing climate change.
Addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation involves many stakeholders, cuts across short and long timeframes, and requires that all development projects be assessed for their sensitivity to climate concerns. This integration of climate concerns in the development process has been mainstreamed in India through high-level multistakeholder committees. The National Committee to Assess the Impacts of Climate Change is evaluating the impact of climate change on key development activities, and assessing options to mitigate climate risks.
