Table 3. Emissions of the various greenhouse gases.

General description There is a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is leading to climate change.

Measures to Reduce Emissions of Other Greenhouse Gases

Parties therefore had an obligation to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions dramatically, and to fulfil the other promises they had made.

Table 1. Total emissions of greenhouse gases in Norway.

Table 3. Projecteda greenhouse gas reduction in select non Annex I Parties

Such a presentation shows the relative contributions of the different GHGs and the different sectors to a Party's total GHG emissions.

Figure 1. Greenhouse gas emissions in Norway. 1985 1993.

Net greenhouse gas emissions down 82 percent in absolute tonnage.

The most important industry in terms of emissions is cement manufacture.

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

To be eligible for accreditation under the Greenhouse Friendly programme, abatement projects must generate permanent, verifiable greenhouse gas emission reductions, avoidances or sequestration.

overview of approaches taken to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and enhance greenhouse gas sinks by gas, sector and policy instrument

In Australia, a programme called Greenhouse Friendly provides businesses with an opportunity to market greenhouse neutral products or services, deliver greenhouse gas abatement and give Australian consumers greater purchasing choices.

describing expected progress in the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and the enhancement of greenhouse gas sinks on the basis of information contained in national communications, and

Therefore GHG emissions from this subsector will grow.

Therefore GHG emissions can be expected to increase from this subsector.

Table 1 Summary of emissions of greenhouse gases in Germany in 1990

Changes in the location of agricultural areas and changes in crop types may have a global benefit if they are accompanied by reductions in soil related emissions of greenhouse gases.

Therefore, ways and means to induce behavioural changes of the participants to UNFCCC meetings, selection of the venue based on green considerations, and green travelling of the participants, are not addressed, but could be dealt with in future.

Transport is considered a major sector that will contribute to the growth of GHG emissions.

Although this assessment is not required by the guidelines, a few Parties provided comprehensive analyses covering the major sources of GHG emissions and the action plans that integrate all the measures in a consistent way.

This allowed a preliminary analysis to be made of the trends of GHG emissions in these countries.

Thirty six Parties (30 per cent) showed that removals of CO2 by sinks in LUCF exceeded total CO2 emissions.

The main initiatives aimed at addressing greenhouse gas emissions are

The big opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is actually in urbanizing the suburbs.

The big opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is actually in urbanizing the suburbs.

Local governments have also strengthened their resolve to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

DESCRIBING PROGRESS IN THE MITIGATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND THE ENHANCEMENT OF GREENHOUSE GAS SINKS

It also helps to limit greenhouse gas emissions and facilitate adaptation to climate change.

Under a rigorous certification process, the cradle to grave greenhouse gas emissions are fully offset by accredited greenhouse abatement projects.

They believe that these measures will result in reduction of growth of GHG emissions.

Reduction of emissions of other greenhouse gases (including CF4 and C2F6).

They represent a key tool in the fight against global warming, as their production process results in fewer greenhouse gases emissions.

Top down methods use average carbon emission factors per passenger kilometre calculated from historical data for large numbers of flights (e.g., at world level or by a global airline company).

If the designated operational entity determines that the project activity intends to use a new baseline or monitoring methodology, as referred to in paragraph 37 (e) (ii) above, it shall, prior to a submission for registration of this project activity, forward the proposed methodology, together with the draft project design document, including a description of the project and identification of the project participants, to the Executive Board for review.

(b) For facilities that do not have an operating history of at least three years between the beginning of 2000 and the end of 2004, new HCFC 22 facilities refers to the total production of HCFC 22 at the facility

In a related development, the European Union Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading Scheme goes into effect on 1 January 2005.

About one third of reporting Parties also reported on measures to abate GHG emissions in the agriculture and waste sectors.

The basis of the calculation of emissions of greenhouse gases from the energy sector is primary energy consumption and emission factors.
