The anthropogenic mega-activities whereby their main source of energy is the fossil fuels‚ the main emitters of the greenhouse gases (GHGs)‚ such as the carbon dioxide (CO2). These gases are the main cause of global warming. Through statistics‚ it is shown that the large-scale CO2 emissions to the atmosphere are worsening day by day‚ so putting the earth on the verge of a massive global

The six GHG are translated into CO2 equivalents in determining reductions in emissions. These reduction targets are in addition to the industrial gases‚ chlorofluorocarbons‚ or CFCs‚ which are dealt with under the 1987 Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete

ABSTRACT We are in debt to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and other green house gases for our presence on earth. As they help in stabilizing temperatures to levels sustainable for organic life – by what is known as green house effect. In modern times burning of fossil fuels like coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas combined with fast deforestation has led to unprecedented level of green house gas emission. Here came in to existence the concept of Carbon Emission Trading developed during the Kyoto Protocol in 1997

The problems of congestion‚ accident damages and depletion of non renewable resources rise when there is a rapid increase in the transportation growth. Social impacts on aesthetic‚ human health and community livability are inevitable. Air pollution‚ climate change‚ noise and loss of habitat are major environmental impact caused by transport sector.

Global warming problems Global warming is mostly caused by carbon dioxide which is one of a greenhouse gas due to human interference in nature’s life cycle. Because of greenhouse gases (GHGs)‚ more and more heat is being trapped inside the earth’s atmosphere making hotter changing weather and climatic conditions all over the globe. The problems global warming causes are alteration in the sea level‚ increasing in climatic disasters‚ reduction

European community for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These amount to an average of five percent against 1990 levels over the five year period 2008-2012. The major difference between the Protocol and the Convention is that while the Convention encouraged industrialized countries to stabilize CHG emissions‚ the Protocol commits them to do so 1. Recognizing that developed countries are principally responsible for the current high levels of GHG emissions in the atmosphere as a result of more

change. For most people‚ the expression “climate change” means the alteration of the world’s climate that we humans are causing‚ through fossil fuel burning‚ clearing forests and other practices that increase the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. However‚ scientists often use the term for any change in the climate‚ whether arising naturally or from human causes. According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) climate change is the change

formulation of guidelines based on industrial pollution is very limited in Nepal. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the implementation of Environmental Management System (EMS) in the carpet industry in reducing energy consumption and in reducing GHG emissions for sustainable development and mitigation of climate change. Various works and research have been carried out to determine the effectiveness of EMS implementation in the industries of Nepal‚ mainly in terms of reduction of resource consumption
