This guidebook addresses forestry projects' standing in carbon markets, anticipated trends, as well as the financing of these projects and sale of carbon credits. It provides insight into the issues that have limited the forest carbon market, and uses case studies to highlight best practices and success stories that developers can replicate in order to stimulate investment into bankable projects.
Rapid and alarming deterioration in natural environment has become a matter of great concern for the entire globe. Exploding population, industrialization, man-made pollution, loss of forests, etc are
As governments elaborate strategies to counter climate change, there is a need to compare the different options available on an environmental basis.
The countries of Asia and the Pacific are highly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change, with more people at risk than any other region of the world. This places the need to address climate change firmly on the region's economic development agenda.
<p>The agricultural sector can help to address, mitigate, and adapt to climate change. Agriculture has significant potential to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store (or sequester) carbon while at the same time reducing its GHG emissions
This paper explores the pros and cons of biomass and the logistics of switching to other fuels in developing countries. Calculations reveal that there is more than sufficient biomass, not only to maintain present consumption, but also to expand its use considerably. A principal cause of global warming is the increased use of fossil fuels.
Geologic sequestration (GS) of carbon dioxide (CO2) is contingent upon securing the legal right to use deep subsurface pore space.
State now produces a quarter of the country's pulp yield. This initiative has helped create green cover for carbon sequestration, ground water recharge, regeneration of biomass and in nurturing of depleted soils. V Rishi Kumar
Chennai: The cold, arid region of Ladakh, where temperatures dip to minus 45 degrees Celsius, is the last place on earth where you would expect tomatoes, potatoes, cucumber, brinjal, onion and garlic to grow. But, thanks to the efforts of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), about 5,000 tons are produced in Ladakh every year.
The thing I love most about America is that there
