UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

• Small population (325,000) and overall
emissions (4.5 m tons); 14 tons per capita
• Unusual emissions profile (industrial
processes and transport biggest sectors)
• Highest share of renewables in OECD:
85% of total energy use; 100% of
stationary energy production (electricity
and space heating)
• Abundant renewable energy sources
(hydro, geothermal)
• Abundant carbon sequestration
opportunities (afforestation, revegetation)

Reykjavík
7. International Commitments
• UNFCCC cornerstone of climate policy
• Iceland is part of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS), as a
part of the EEA Agreement; starting in 2012
• 11 Icelandic entities under the EU-ETS (heavy industry, aviation, fish
meal production); 40% of Iceland’s emissions
• Rules and targets for Icelandic industry and sectors comparable to
that of other European countries (EU, Norway, Switzerland)
• Paris: Iceland is committed to take part in joint efforts with the
European Union (EU) and Norway to reduce greenhouse-gas
emissions by 40% by 2030 (as compared to 1990 levels).
8. • Iceland will fulfil its international obligations according to the
UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol.
• Greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced, with a special
emphasis on reducing the use of fossil fuels in favour of renewable
energy sources and climate-friendly fuels.
• The government will attempt to increase carbon sequestration
from the atmosphere through afforestation, revegetation, wetland
reclamation, and changed land use.
• Long-term aspirational goal: 50-75% net emissions cuts to 2050
• The government will support research and innovation in climate
mitigation and will promote transfer of Icelandic expertise in
renewable energy and climate-friendly technology.
• The government will prepare for adaptation to climate change.
Government 2007 Climate Strategy
9. 2010 Action Plan
• Action Plan takes account of 2007 Strategy and likely
international commitments; builds on 2009 expert study
on mitigation potential and cost
• Ten “key actions” to cut net emissions, so that they
will be 1.2-1.7 million tons less than in a
„Business-as-usual“ scenario in 2020
• Key actions should ensure that Iceland can honour
its post-2012 commitments in the period up to 2020
• High mitigation potential in LULUCF: afforestation
and revegetationvegetation
• Significant mitigation potential in transport and fisheries
• Heavy industry must acquire emission permits after 2012
• Net emissions in non-ETS sectors should decrease appr.
30% from 2005 to 2020
10. 1. Application of EU-ETS to relevant sectors
2. Carbon tax
3. Change in taxes and fees for cars and fuels
4. Official procurement of low-carbon and fuel efficient vehicles
5. Increased share of public transport, walking and bicycling in transport
6. Biofuels for the fishing fleet
7. Electrification of fish-meal production (currently using heavy oil)
8. Increased afforestation and revegetation
9. Restoration of drained wetlands
10.Increased R&D in climate-friendly technology
- Total: 1330-1570 Gg less net emissions per year by 2020 than in Business-as-usual
Ten Key Actions
12. • The Icelandic government has announced a new sixteen-point plan
for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and tackling climate
change.
• The plan was presented in the run-up to COP21, UNFCCC climate
conference in Paris.
New Climate Change Action Plan
(Sóknaráætlun í loftslagsmálum)
13. • Divided into three sections
• The first deals with reducing overall emissions in Iceland –
generated by transport, fisheries, agriculture and land use.
• The second section on bolstering international cooperation and
assisting other countries in reducing emissions.
• Thirdly, the plan addresses the issue of improving infrastructure in
Iceland, involving better data and forecasts, awareness-raising on
the issue of climate change, and closer monitoring of the country’s
glaciers.
The new CC mitigation action plan
14. Main focus is on following initiatives:
1. Marine sector: Mitigation roadmap
2. Agricultural sector: Mitigation roadmap
3. Increased carbon sequestration in forestry and land reclamation
4. Enter Wetland restoration program
5. Minimize Food waste
Agriculture and food related focal actions
15. Icelanders are self-sufficient in all major livestock products, such as
meat, milk, and eggs.
Traditional livestock production is grassland based and most farm
animals are native breeds, i.e. dairy cattle, sheep, horses, and goats,
which are all of an ancient Nordic origin. These animals are generally
smaller than the breeds common elsewhere in Europe. Beef production,
however, is partly through imported breeds, as is most poultry and all
pork production.
There is not much arable crop production in Iceland, due to a cold
climate and short growing season.
Cropland in Iceland consists mainly of cultivated hayfields, but potatoes,
barley, beets, and carrots are grown on limited acreage.
Agriculture and climate change -
Background
Source: Iceland, CC. Nat. Inv. Report 2015
16. • Total methane emissions from agriculture amounted to 12.61 Gg in
2013; total nitrous oxide emissions to 0.89Gg. Thus combined CH4
and N2O emissions amounted to 648 Gg CO2-eq. in 2013.
• Aggregated agriculture emissions were 779.53 Gg CO2-eq. in 1990.
The 17% decrease is mainly due to a decrease in sheep livestock
population, reducing methane emissions from enteric fermentation
and reduced fertilizer application reducing N2O emissions from
agricultural soils. 88% of CH4 emissions were caused by enteric
fermentation, the rest by manure management. 77% of N2O
emissions were caused by agricultural soils, the rest by manure
management, i.e. storage of manure.
Agricultural emissions

17. During the period 2002 – 2013, satellite data from NASA (NDVI)
suggest no change or reduced vigor of vegetation on most of the land
area, despite warming during the period.
Exceptions: afforested areas and Nootka lupin fields (green on map).

• Agricultural data is at
present not of
adequate quality
• The aim is to carry
out a reliable analysis
of the main GHG-
emission sources and
sinks in Icelandic
agriculture.
• Information gained
will be used as a
roadmap to propose
mechanisms of
reducing emissions
from agriculture.
20. Afforestation and its potential for CC mitigation
• Iceland is the least forested of all the Nordic (and European)
countries (save Faroe Islands and Greenland).
• At settlement (in 9th century) Iceland was „wooded between
the mountains and the seashore“ (source: Ari „the wise“
Thorgilsson, 13th century historian).
• The difference (25-40% down to 0.5-1.9%) can be explained
by „land-use change“ since settlement.
• Iceland‘s lack of forests is not because the country is „too
cold“.
