To this end, it must draw up a National Plan for limiting and reducing anthropogenic emissions by sources and enhancing removal by sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases.

Other greenhouse gases (GHG) are not subject to a specific target.

Recognizing the necessity of urgently limiting their anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and of protecting and enhancing their greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs in order to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change,

Greenhouse gases

7 National GHG inventories are referred to simply as inventories in these guidelines for the sake of brevity.

Monitoring of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

A country with a higher elasticity of greenhouse gas emissions would therefore share a lower burden in greenhouse gas emission limitation.

(e) Conserve and enhance, as appropriate, greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs.

(i) Monitoring of GHGs in the atmosphere

For example ISO 14064 on Greenhouse gases, US DOE 1605(b) on General Guidelines for Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reporting, WRI WBCSD on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.

The Measurement of Greenhouse Gases

(e) Protection and enhancement of sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol.

It has also followed, as far as possible, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (1994) in preparing its national inventory of greenhouse gases (GHGs) not controlled by the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

(ii) Protection and enhancement of sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol

quot Greenhouse gas quot means any greenhouse gas for which a global warming potential (GWP) is set forth in Annex C of this Protocol.

(a) Development of best practice guidelines for greenhouse gas emission reductions

Protection and enhancement of sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol

The Case for Mitigating Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Agricultural sources of greenhouse gases

The upcoming Montreal Climate Conference must take serious decisions on future actions to halt climate change, in which the largest historical producers of greenhouse gases must immediately reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

7.4 quot Greenhouse gas quot means any gas with a greenhouse effect not controlled by the Montreal Protocol for which a global warming potential is set forth in Annex C of this Protocol.

quot Greenhouse gas quot means any gas with a greenhouse effect not controlled by the Montreal Protocol for which a GWP is set forth in Annex C of this Protocol.

Provision requiring control of greenhouse gases not listed in Annex C Note to reader See paragraph 271 for an explanation of Annex C in this proposal.

Parties shall cooperate in the establishment of a long term goal with respect to atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse Gas Technology Information Exchange

However they also act as greenhouse gases.

(d) Promote and guide, in accordance with the objective of the Convention and the provisions of this Protocol, the development and periodic refinement of comparable methodologies, to be agreed on by the Meeting of the Parties, inter alia, for preparing inventories of greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks, and for evaluating the effectiveness of measures to limit the emissions and enhance the removals of these gases

(i) Implement commitments in article 4.2(e)(ii) of the Convention and remove obstacles to the limitation and reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases and greenhouse gas precursors not controlled by the Montreal Protocol and to the enhancement of removals by sinks

Recognizing the need to avoid the creation of quot greenhouse gas polluter havens quot , renewed emphasis is placed on the need for the quantification, reporting, reduction and mitigation of emissions of greenhouse gases, to be conducted at the national level.

In order to promote the early implementation of a pilot greenhouse gas emissions trading system, UNCTAD and the Earth Council recently launched the Policy Forum on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading.

Annex C would set out the GWPs of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol.

It will occur without adding any more greenhouse gasses.

(b) Historical share of greenhouse gas emissions

a) Includes indirect GHG leakages.

A need was expressed for equipment for monitoring GHG and climate.

(c) Creation of the system of monitoring of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.

(i) Development of national inventories of greenhouse gas emissions (Article 4.1(a))

Precursors are atmospheric compounds which themselves are not GHG or aerosols but which have an effect on GHG or aerosol concentrations by taking part in physical or chemical processes regulating their production or destruction rates.

Because California was the first state in this country to mandate 25 percent reduction of greenhouse gases by 2020.

Projecting global GHG emissions methods to estimate future global GHG emissions or removals by sinks

Almost all economic activities affect emissions and some affect the removals of greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse Gas Source and Sink Categories CO2

(b) Remove greenhouse gases by sinks and reservoirs and

Fluorocarbons and other greenhouse gases

Percentage of total greenhouse gas emissions
