Presently, the lack of data on soil organic carbon (SOC) in relation to land-use types and biophysical characteristics prevents reliable estimates of carbon stocks in montane landscapes of mainland SE Asia. Our study, conducted in a 10,000-hectare landscape in Xishuangbanna, SW China, aimed at assessing the spatial variability in SOC …
New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) released this analysis at Montreal Protocol meet in Kigali to support India’s proposal as general consensus seems to be emerging within the A5 parties (developing nations) to have a dual baseline for climate damaging gas Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Is quibbling over the 2020-22/ …
Almost everyone believes the conference beginning today will reach a deal on HFCs. That will leave only one more loophole to plug — international shipping. Last week has been of great significance in the fight against climate change. The Paris Agreement received the required number of ratifications, and will become …
As per the Paris agreement, India has committed to ensuring that at least 40 per cent of its electricity will be generated from "non-fossil" sources by 2030.

Addressing …
The planet's three most dangerous greenhouse gases are rising, and fossil fuels must be taxed to protect children from the costly turmoil of rising seas and extreme storms, world-renowned climate scientist James Hansen warned Tuesday. Otherwise, young people face the "dubious" proposition of somehow sucking carbon dioxide from the air …
Vadodara, India, Oct 5, 2016 – The solar-based microgrid will provide uninterrupted power supply to ABB’s largest manufacturing facility ABB today announced that it will install a fully integrated and standardized microgrid at its Vadodara facility in Gujarat, India to help boost renewable energy generation while reducing dependency on fossil …
- Pranav Prakash, Young India Fellowship This past year has witnessed some remarkable success in the global battle against climate change, particularly in comparison to the first half of the decade which began with the spillover of the infamous ‘climategate’ and swiftly followed with a measurable turn towards a more …
Initiatives have been taken to develop an extensive inventory of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission sources in Delhi. However, there is a need to integrate the emission of air pollutants and GHG, which may have significant overlap and may require a common strategy to mitigate these emissions. This study has developed …
This protocol was developed and subsequently tested in 2012–2015 by Nordic test and research institutes, with Danish Technological Institute as project manager. This protocol describes a potential standardized procedure for measurements of BC (Black Carbon) in terms of both EC (Elemental Carbon) and OC (Organic Carbon) from residential wood burning …
This study proposes a Standardized Crediting Framework (SCF) as a new approach to crediting emission reductions for energy access, which goes beyond the current Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Programme of Activities (PoA) model, has lower transaction costs and encourages private sector engagement in energy access investments. It is a concept …
The use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) is expected to rapidly rise in the coming decades unless more is done to curb their growth.
