Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
Overview of Issue In the past two years research has pointed towards the possibility of using urban planning as a tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. For many focused on the issue of climate change, there is a consensus that atmospheric carbon dioxide should be contained at no more than twice the maximum level of atmospheric carbon dioxide that existed during the pre-industr...
متن کاملGreenhouse gas mitigation in agriculture.
Agricultural lands occupy 37% of the earth's land surface. Agriculture accounts for 52 and 84% of global anthropogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Agricultural soils may also act as a sink or source for CO2, but the net flux is small. Many agricultural practices can potentially mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the most prominent of which are improved cropland and grazing land m...
متن کاملGreenhouse Gas Mitigation through Agriculture
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be reduced or atmospheric GHGs sequestered to help reduce the future extent of climate change. Options to do this through agriculture have received increasing attention during the last decade. Some see agriculture as a potential low-cost provider of emission reductions in the near future with additional environmental and income distributional cobenefits. Other...
متن کاملHidden Health Benefits of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
Most public discussion of climate change has focused on long-term considerations, such as raised temperatures and sea level, extremes of weather, alterations in the ecology of infectious diseases, or radical changes in land use (1, 2). However, the same actions that can reduce the long-term buildup of greenhouse gases (GHG)--reductions in burning of fossil fuels--can also yield powerful, immedi...
متن کاملGreenhouse gas emissions from agricultural food production to supply Indian diets: Implications for climate change mitigation
Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. The growing global population is putting pressure on agricultural production systems that aim to secure food production while minimising GHG emissions. In this study, the GHG emissions associated with the production of major food commodities in India are calculated using the Cool Farm Tool. GHG emissions, based on farm ma...
