World Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2005
World Greenhouse Gas Emissions in 2005 is a comprehensive view of global, anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The chart in this working paper is an updated version of the original chart, which appeared in Navigating the Numbers: Greenhouse Gas Data and International Climate Policy (WRI, ...

EU emissions reduction strategy
The task To work with ECOFYS in the Netherlands and NTUA in Greece to identify ways to help the European Union reduce greenhouse gas emissions. How we helped Under the Kyoto Protocol, the European Union agreed that, by 2010, greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by 8% compared with 1990 levels. AEA Energy & Environment* was asked by the European Commission to identify how the ...

Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections 2005
Projections show that the pre-2004 EU Member States (EU-15) could cut their total emissions to 9.3% below 1990 levels by 2010 with a combination of existing domestic policies and measures already implemented, additional policies and measures currently being planned and the use of credits from emissions-saving projects in third countries through the Kyoto Protocol's 'flexible mechanisms'. Thus the ...

Editorial: Policy and legislative architecture to deal with climate change and sustainable development in a post-Kyoto framework
This Editorial identifies challenges that need to be addressed post-Kyoto, which include the continuing debate between the developed nations and developing nations on the responsibility for climate change and the impacts mitigatory action would have on economic development. Despite the ongoing debate on who should be more responsible in leading the battle against climate change, the evidence ...

Greenhouse Gas Reductions from Demand-Side Management
This paper discusses greenhouse gas reductions gained through demand-side management programs. Demand-side management programs are designed to educate consumers to reduce energy consumption by improving energy efficiency and modifying energy use levels. These programs conducted by utilities result in decreased amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. However, utilities are often restricted from using ...

Environmental refugees, corrective justice and a system of compensation
Climate change threatens to create roughly 200 million environmental refugees by 2050. By the author's definition, these people will lack the goods required to live a minimally good human life and will be forced to cross international borders in search of resettlement and support. Given that climate change is deemed to be anthropogenic, this article responds to this prospective humanitarian ...

Analysis of greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2004
This report provides a detailed analysis and background information for the EEA report ‘Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2004 — Progress by the EU and its Member States towards achieving their Kyoto Protocol targets’. The EEA report is published separately and is an indicator-based assessment of European Community and other EEA countries’ ...

ESG Reporting Frameworks: Prioritizing Water Challenges for Sustainable Business
When companies and their consultants oversee an ESG reporting framework, the main focus is clearly to positively influence environmental, social, and governance factors. Each category within these ESG programs have multiple metrics that organizations must track. Common ESG metrics for the environmental category are greenhouse gas emissions and waste management. For the social category, ...

`Greenhouse Gas Reductions from Demand-Side Management,` presented at the 2004 AWMA annual conference
Abstract This paper discusses greenhouse gas reductions gained through demand-side management programs. Demand-side management programs are designed to educate consumers to reduce energy consumption by improving energy efficiency and modifying energy use levels. These programs conducted by utilities result in decreased amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. However, utilities are often ...

Legal developments related to greenhouse gas emissions
The prospects for new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions have evolved from a possibility to an inevitability, according to the authors of this article. They say the greatest potential for new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions is emerging from existing laws--most particularly, the Clean Air Act. The authors, noting that state regulatory efforts and successes in the courts have set the ...

U.S. efforts on climate change: New beginnings and enduring realities
This article sets the stage for the rest of this U.S.-focused issue by providing an analysis of prospects for federal legislation and regulation of climate change in the United States. It lays out the many drivers propelling the U.S. Congress to pass a mandatory cap on greenhouse gas emissions, including multiple and diverse efforts from states and nongovernmental organizations, as well as the ...

Intertemporal social choice and climate stabilization
This paper examines the implications of alternative approaches to intertemporal social choice in a numerically calibrated model of interactions between global climate change and the world economy. Under cost-benefit analysis, relatively modest steps towards greenhouse gas emissions abatement are justified as economically efficient. Under classical utilitarianism and the precautionary principle, ...

Cap and trade: early action `bonuses` under the Lieberman-Warner Bill
Although it is likely to be several years before a national cap-and-trade program is up and running, there are good reasons for companies that would be subject to greenhouse gas emission caps to start taking inventory of their emissions. The authors note that under legislation pending in Congressespecially the Lieberman-Warner bill in the Senatesignificant opportunities exist for companies to ...

Reducing terrestrial greenhouse gas emissions: a human dimensions contribution
This paper describes achievements from the human dimensions research within New Zealand's 'Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Terrestrial Biosphere' programme, in three parts: (i) regional responses to climate change policy development, (ii) indigenous groups, land use and climate change, and (iii) participation in the Land Use in Rural New Zealand (LURNZ) model development. We then ...

Impact of energy efficiency upgrade retrofits on the residential energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissions in Canada
The impact of various energy efficiency upgrade scenarios on the annual energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissions of the Canadian housing stock is assessed using the Canadian Residential Energy End-use Model (CREEM). The energy efficiency upgrade scenarios that are considered include major retrofits, such as the improvement of the house envelope by adding insulation, and the replacement of ...

Greenhouse gas emission trends and projections in Europe 2008
This report presents an assessment of the current and projected progress of EU Member States, EU candidate countries and other EEA member countries towards their respective targets under the Kyoto Protocol and of progress towards the EU target for 2020. This is based on their past greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and 2006, and the projected greenhouse gas emissions of these countries during ...

Global warming, and role of supplementary cementing materials and superplasticisers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing of portland cement
This paper discusses some aspects of global-warming, and the role of supplementary cementing materials and superplasticisers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. The data are presented as to the CO2 emissions per capita per year from various countries. Also, the relative information is given on the availability of cement and supplementary cementing materials worldwide. The ...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Control
Most of the time, people think about Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions with carbon dioxide, which is the most common of the GHGs. While fairly typical, carbon dioxide isn’t the only GHG U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates. Since EPA has begun regulating GHG emissions under its Clean Air Act authority, sources of emissions from others may require add-on air pollution control ...
