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 …
This report identifies scope for an integrated set of measures that could significantly increase the carbon savings from the UK transport sector, reducing transport emissions by 14% against 1990 baseline levels by 2020 in a cost-effective way. Key features of the approach are a focus on tackling either the largest …
This Synthesis Report is based on the assessment carried out by the three Working Groups (WGs) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It provides an integrated view of climate change as the final part of the IPCC
The International Civil Aviation Organization recently adopted a programme to counter effects of global warming in the aviation industry. It, however, rejected eu proposals to cut carbon emissions made by the industry. After a 10-day-long meeting, on September 28 in Montreal, Canada, the majority of the delegates at the un …
Excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers damages the environment. Emission of nitrous oxide from such fertilizers is a major source of agricultural greenhouse gases. Nitrous oxide has 296 times more global-warming potential than CO2 and also triggers destruction of the ozone layer. Nitrogen oxides are an important component of acid rain. …
The Canadian government has reportedly decided to slash its expenses on wildlife protection and monitoring of ecosystems because of a financial crunch. It has decided to cut the budget for its various environmental programmes by 80 per cent and that for climate change by 40 per cent. The cuts mean …
The last eco-warrior to win the Nobel peace prize, Wangari Maathai (a tree-planting conservationist who won in 2004), was barely known outside her native Kenya. Al Gore is a flashier shade of green. His trophy cabinet is already bulging-the Nobel medal will have to jostle for space with an Oscar …
The purpose of this background paper prepared for the symposium on "Global Sustainability: a Nobel Cause' is to summarize and recall the main findings of the Fourth Assessment Report and to visualize the key messages by new results recently obtained with an innovative integrated assessment model at the Potsdam Institute …
This document is based on the national GHG inventories from Annex I Parties received by the secretariat by 21 September 2007. It shows the status of reporting of annual GHG inventories from Annex I Parties in 2007, and provides a summary of the latest available data on GHG emissions and …
Greenhouse gas emissions from transport are a key contributor to global climate change. In addressing the impacts of climate change through sustainable transport instruments, cities are also able to benefit from a range of co-benefits, including improved air quality, reduced noise from traffic, increased road safety, and a range of …
medicinal plants have traditionally been used as part of animal feed to enhance nutrition and treat digestive disorders. In a recent experiment it was found that drumsticks (Moringa oleifera) and kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa) help animals
the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (bmc) recently invited expressions of interest from agencies to conduct a survey of greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions across various sectors in the city. "Currently, there is no collected data. When we have a baseline survey ready, it can be used for drawing future environmental policies and …
Two summits on global warming lay bare a yawning gap over who needs to do what, as well as the ghost of a deal AS WORLD leaders met to discuss cli-Liriate change at the United Nations this week, protesters outside seemed unconvinced that drowning islands and expanding deserts were the …
Data from the satellite-based Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) show that the total atmospheric moisture content over oceans has increased by 0.41 kg/m2 per decade since 1988. Results from current climate models indicate that water vapor increases of this magnitude cannot be explained by climate noise alone. In a formal …
Energy: Attitudes to nuclear power are shifting in response to climate change and fears over the security of the supply of fossil fuels. The technology of nuclear power has been changing, too OVER the next few decades global electricity consumption is expected to double. At the same time, many power …
The Green Paper on urban transport will address all transport modes, including walking, cycling, motor cycles and motor vehicles, and will cover both urban freight (and logistics) and passenger transport. The functioning of the private car in cities will be addressed. In addition, the paper will emphasise the need for …
This report addresses the potential implementation of a landfill gas (LFG) collection, control and utilization project at the Deonar Landfill located in Mumbai, India. The U.S. EPA
In the intergovernmental climate negotiations India has consistently argued against greenhouse gas mitigation commitments for developing countries. This paper argues that while India
CFL consists of a long glass tube fitted with electrodes. The tube is filled with mercury vapour and gas (argon or xenon). The glass tube's interior is coated with phosphor. When electricity is supplied, electrons are released from the electrodes, which excite the mercury atoms causing them to emit ultraviolet …
