For activity 1-3‚ three scopes‚ which are the main source of greenhouse gas for Contex Limited and related data‚ will be quantified and calculated with reference to The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Technical Guidelines‚ 2011. Activity 4 will focus on the monitoring mechanism and its relation with accounting professions. Activity 5 will be discussing

born. Scientists considered global warming‚ or the greenhouse effect‚ to be one of the most serious problems in the modern world. Global warming means there is gradually increasing temperature on the earth‚ and consequently climate changing. Global warming is the result of human actions. The atmosphere is changing‚ and the ozone layer is under the threat from chemicals that people use on the earth. The amount of using fossil fuels‚ such as oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ and deforestation produces carbon dioxide

(IPCC) to investigate the causes of this gradual increase in the Earth’s average temperature. The panel attributed most of the increase in temperature to “anthropogenic‚” or man-made‚ influences. These influences include greenhouse gas concentrations that directly manipulate the greenhouse effect. This conclusion‚ although basic‚ has been supported by over 30 scientific societies and scientific academies. Although there have been increased debate into the causes and existence of global warming‚ there still

seasonal snow and sea-ice cover subject to ice-albedo feedback. Although more greenhouse gases are emitted in the Northern than Southern Hemisphere this does not contribute to the difference in warming because the major greenhouse gases persist long enough to mix between century.[2][A] Most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century has been caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases‚ which

efficient solutions of this problem are a moratorium of deforestation‚ a universal carbon tax and international cooperation. Global warming is a tendency which there is an increase in earth’s surface temperature which is caused by excess greenhouse gas emissions. The phenomena of this problem are the change of global climate‚ the melting of ice cap and the increase in sea level. A research organization reported that “in the 20th century the average global surface temperature has increased by

has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F)‚ with about two thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.[2] Warming of the climate system is unequivocal‚ and scientists are more than 90% certain that most of it is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels.[3][4][5][6] These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all the major industrialized nations.[7][A] Climate model projections are summarized

processes. Carbon credits and carbon markets are a component of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One carbon credit is equal to one metric tonne of carbon dioxide‚ or in some markets‚ carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. Greenhouse gas emissions are capped and then markets are used to allocate the emissions among the group of regulated sources. Where do Carbon Credits come

In its recognition of humanity as a participant in ecosystems‚ the movement is centered

Table of contents I. INTRODUCTION The idea of protecting the environment has its origins in the second half of the nineteenth century. In Europe‚ it emerged from the movement in response to the dynamic process of industrialization and urban sprawl‚ and an increasing level of air and water pollution. The United States was founded as a result of growing concerns about the state of the natural resources of the country‚ supported by key philosophical references such
