Summary of key findings of Working Group III contribution to the IPCC 5th Assessment Report by Jake Rice, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada
SICCME open session, 17 September 2014, ICES Annual Science Conference, A Coruña, Spain
Key messages
Maintaining ocean ecosystems and services depends
in large part on the negotiation process
toward a global climate agreement under the
UNFCCC. In this regard, four key messages emerge
from our analysis. First, the ocean strongly influences
the climate system and provides important
services to humans. Second, impacts on key
marine and coastal organisms, ecosystems, and
services from anthropogenic CO2 emissions are
already detectable, and several will face high risk
of impacts well before 2100, even with the stringent
CO2 emissions scenario (RCP2.6). These impacts
are occurring across all latitudes and have
become a global concern that spans the traditional
north/south divide. Third, the analysis shows
that immediate and substantial reduction of CO2
emissions is required in order to prevent the massive
and effectively irreversible impacts on ocean
ecosystems and their services that are projected
with emissions scenarios more severe than RCP2.6.
Limiting emissions to below this level is necessary
to meet UNFCCC's stated objectives. Management
options that overlook CO2, such as solar
radiation management and control of methane
emission, will only minimize impacts of ocean
warming and not those of ocean acidification.
Fourth, as CO2 increases, the protection, adaptation,
and repair options for the ocean become
fewer and less effective.
Given the contrasting futures we have outlined
here, the ocean provides further compelling arguments
for rapid and rigorous CO2 emission
reduction and eventual reduction of atmospheric
CO2 content. As a result, any new global climate
agreement that does not minimize the impacts
on the ocean will be incomplete and inadequate.

Climate Change and COP23: self-deceptions and sluggish coordinationjournal ijrtem
ABSTRACT : Recent Carribean~Florida events, where warm ocean water provided energy for the hurricane Irma, make us all turn to the UN, and its UNFCCC, in order to find whether the international community is able and willing to engage in large scale activities to halt global warming. Two aspects must be examined: (1) Is there now overwhelming empirical evidence for global warming theory; (2) Can the states of world put together an effective response to rising greenhouse gases?If not, we face the Stephen Hawking threat of enormous damages, global warming becoming irreversible. KEYWORDS: GHG, GWT, CO2, methane, collective action, international governance, UNFCCC: Goal I, Goal II, Goal III.
Biomass, Biofuel and Solar Energy Technology Shih Cheng Tung
In recent generation, the high growth rate of industrial development and population causes significant environmental change. The global warming is one of well-known phenomenon, which is led to by greenhouse gases. Moreover, the natural resources limitation urges humans need to develop sustainable solutions for energy using. Thus, several growing green technologies aim to improve the situation. It is important to raise the public awareness of sustainable energy as well.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

6. What is carbon footprint?
Why we need it?
How it is calculated?
INTRODUCTION
Slide:3/18
7. The Total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and
indirectly due to human activities, usually expressed in equivalent
tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Note:
Greenhouse gases include:
water vapor,
carbon dioxide,
methane,
nitrous oxide and many others.

9. This accounting approach compares,
how much people demand compared to what the planet can
renew.
This allows to assess the number of "earths" that would be
required if everyone on the planet consumed resources at the
same level as the person calculating their ecological footprint.
Slide:6/18
10. The carbon footprint calculation procedure is based on life cycle
thinking and the life cycle assessment (LCA) method.
What is LCA?
Inputs and outputs of material and energy
And the environmental impacts
through out life of a product.
Slide:7/18
11. For Example:
If your car consumes 7.5 liter diesel per 100 km, while each liter of fuel
(petrol/diesel) consumed, emit 2.7kg carbon dioxide (CO2).
then a drive of 300 km distance consumes
liter diesel,
which adds
kg = kg CO2 to your own carbon footprint
22.53 x 7.5= ?
22.5 x 2.7 ?60.75
~ 0.06tons of CO2.
Slide:8/18
12. The aim of the research is specifically to study concept of carbon
footprint, its need and usage.
To address back controversies such as methodological question,
completeness, units and environmental impacts of carbon
footprints.
To suggests a scientific definition based on commonly accepted
accounting principles and modeling approaches.
AIMS & OBJECTIVES
Slide:9/18
13. The carbon footprint concept is related to and grew out of the
older idea of ecological footprint.
Invented in the early 1990s.
By Canadian ecologist William Rees and
Swiss-born regional planner Mathis Wackernagel
at the University of British Columbia.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Slide:10/18
14. LITERATURE REVIEW
Part of the ecological footprint
Popularized by a large campaign of BP in 2005.
In 2007, carbon footprint was used as a measure of carbon
emissions to develop the energy plan for City of Lynnwood,
Washington.
Produced from two types of sources:
Direct & Indirect Sources
Most of the carbon footprint come from the
"indirect" sources,
e.g. fuel burned to produce goods far away from the final
consumer.
Direct sources
i.e. One's car emission or stove, commonly referred to as
consumer's carbon footprint.
Slide:11/18
15. The total Carbon footprint (GHGs produced)
in 2018
45261.25 (MTCO2e) of whole
world
Out of which
12454.71 (MTCO2e) is of China 29%
6673.44 (MTCO2e) of U.S 14%
and
4224.52 (MTCO2e) of European union 9%
LITERATURE REVIEW

Slide:12/18
16. There are several approaches in order to estimate the carbon
footprint of a system, however these are four specific general
steps:
• a) selection of the greenhouse gases
• b) setting the boundaries of the study
• c) collection of the necessary data
• d) translation of data into carbon footprint
METHODOLOGY
Slide:13/18
17. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
is followed by the
[Steps (a) (b) and (c)]
• Selection Setting and Collection
• Translation/Conversion
As the majority of the carbon footprint product is
carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.
Then How other greenhouse gases (GHGs) rather than CO2, are
calculated though: [Step (d)]
Slide:14/18
18. • Translation/Conversion
Greenhouse gas emissions are converted into carbon dioxide
equivalents using 100-year global warming potentials
Global warming potential is a measure of how much heat a
greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere up to a specific time horizon,
relative to carbon dioxide.
The global warming potentials of these three GHGs are presented in
the table:
Slide:15/18
19. Global warming potential of methane is 25,
This means that emissions of one million metric tons of methane is
equivalent to emissions of 25 million metric tons of carbon dioxide
And the total emission equivalent is given by:
Total Emissions (MTCO2) = Emissions MTCO2
+
CH4 Emissions (MTCO2 Eq.)
+
N2O Emissions (MTCO2 Eq.)
• Translation/Conversion
Slide:16/18
20. Carbon footprint has emerged as a strong mode of GHG expression.
Carbon footprinting must be harnessed as a strong tool to promote
GHG emission reductions.
Evolution of CO2 emissions illustrates the necessity for every country to
plan more sustainable energy future.
Any action to reduce GHG emissions must be welcomed and should be
applied as soon as possible.
It should be included as indicator of sustainable development also
among businesses, events, and civil society.
