Download or read book Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories written by Barbara V. Braatz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International concern for the continued growth of greenhouse gas emissions, and the potentially damaging consequences of resultant global climate change, led to the signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by 155 nations at the Earth Summit in June 1992. The Convention came into force on 21 March 1994, three months after receiving its 50th ratification. All Parties to the Convention are required to compile, periodically update, and publish national inventories of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and sinks using comparable methodologies. In support of this process, the US Country Studies Program (US CSP) is providing financial and technical assistance to 56 developing and transition countries for conducting national inventories. This book presents the results of preliminary national inventories prepared by countries participating in the US CSP that are ready to share their interim findings. In some cases, inventories were prepared with support from other organizations. Preliminary inventories of twenty countries in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States, and Latin America are presented, as well as regional and global syntheses of the national results. The regional and global syntheses also discuss results of eleven other preliminary national inventories that have been published elsewhere with the assistance of other programs. Results are discussed in the context of national and regional socioeconomic characteristics, and the regional and global syntheses compare national inventory estimates to other published estimates that are based largely on international databases. Papers also discuss inventory development issues, such as data collection and emission factor determination, and problems associated with applying the IPCC inventory methodologies. The preliminary inventory results reported here represent significant progress towards meeting country commitments under the Framework Convention, and provide useful information for refining international greenhouse gas emission databases and improving inventory methodologies. As the first book to compile national greenhouse gas emission estimates prepared by national experts in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, this will be an invaluable resource to scientists, policymakers, and development specialists in national, regional and global anthropogenic sources and sinks of greenhouse gases.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Centre for Energy, Environment, Science and Technology in Tanzania carried out this study on behalf of the Department of Environment of the Ministry of Tourism, Natural Resources and Environment. The research was carried out to meet Tanzania's international treaty obligations covering provision of information about human indicated emissions by sources and removal by sinks of green-house gases, and the phasing out of ozone depleting substances. The study was organised on the basis of the sectors of energy and transport, industry, agriculture, forestry and land-use, commerce and household, and solid waste and wastewater management. A caution was added to the main conclusions that there must be a linkage between the objective of poverty alleviation and improvement of the socio-economic situation of Tanzania and other developing countries.

Download or read book Comparative Analysis of Emission Factors and Activity Data Used for the Estimation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Energy and Land-use Change and Forestry Sectors for Some Developing Countries written by Emilio Lèbre La Rovere and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper reviews existing emission factors and activity data used in the energy sector (Part One) and the land-use change and forestry sector (Part Two) based on the available literature, including the initial national communications submitted by non-Annex I Parties and various GHG inventory reports. It describes the methodology used, assesses the reliability and accuracy of the collected data and highlights the major problems encountered by non-Annex I Parties during the preparation of the GHG inventories in these two sectors. Based on the analysis, a number of conclusions are drawn and recommendations made on how to improve the reliability and comparability of emission factors and activity data, with a view to enhancing the quality of national GHG inventories. The complete bibliographical references of the reviewed documents are listed at the end of the paper."--Introd.

Download or read book The Environmental Effects of Tax Differentiation by Vehicle Characteristics written by International Institute for Environment and Development and published by IIED. This book was released on 2000 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban pollution, particularly from exhaust fumes, is a growing problem in Costa Rica, as elsewhere. Policy makers have tried to solve the problem through traditional regulatory instruments. But at the same time, other policy initiatives, such as reducing taxes, have contributed to greater car ownership and use, and hence, pollution levels. This study looks at whether the government's practice of differentiating car taxes on the basis of vehicle characteristics can be used to improve air quality in Costa Rica. The results indicate that a tax that increases the relative price of used cars will have significant environmental impacts, while other means of differentation are much weaker.

Download or read book Natural Sinks of CO2 written by Joe Wisniewski and published by Springer. This book was released on 1992-05-31 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the attention with respect to the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations centers around three issues: human-generated sources of carbon, mostly from burning fossil fuels; tropical deforestation, which accelerates the production of atmospheric carbon while causting havoc with biodiversity and the economic development of tropical countries; and the temperature increase that may accompany increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. This is the first book to focus extensively on the reverse to emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), i.e. the sequestering of atmospheric carbon by aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Natural ecosystems are currently sequestering carbon and it is economically feasible to manage existing and additional terrestrial (forest, soil, saline land) and aquatic (coastal, wetland and ocean) ecosystems to substantially increase the level of carbon storage. The prospect of managing natural systems to absorb additional carbon should begin to change the mindset under which scientists, policy makers and society deal with the issue of further greenhouse gas increases.
