Rajendra Shende - TERRE Policy Centre - Conclusions xv european conference

The document discusses new hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerants that could enable high temperature heat pumps. Three developmental HFO refrigerants, DR-14, DR-12, and DR-2, are highlighted as having attractive properties including being zero-ozone depletion potential (ODP), low global warming potential (GWP), non-flammable, and providing favorable heating performance over wide temperature ranges based on preliminary testing. DR-2 in particular could enable heat pump systems with condensing temperatures up to 160°C.

The Road from Paris - Whither Climate Policy?

Richard Tol

1) The document discusses the history and current state of international climate policy over the past 25 years. 2) It analyzes the climate policies of various countries and regions, finding that policies have largely rewarded political allies with subsidies rather than reducing emissions. 3) Going forward, the document argues that international negotiations on binding emissions targets have failed and countries are instead focusing on their own pledged targets through a pledge-and-review system.

NaveedKhaskheli1

This document discusses strategies for controlling emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), including domestic, regional, and international approaches. It notes that HFC usage and emissions have grown substantially to replace ozone-depleting substances banned under the Montreal Protocol. The U.S. has regulations and partnerships to reduce HFC emissions from various sectors. Internationally, amending the Montreal Protocol to phase down HFC production and use could significantly reduce climate change impacts by over 96 billion tons of carbon dioxide by 2050. Momentum is growing for such an amendment with over 100 countries supporting addressing HFCs under the Montreal Protocol.

CDM

Deepu Sivakumar

The document discusses the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) established under the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol classified countries as Annex I (developed) and non-Annex I (developing) and required Annex I countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 5.2% below 1990 levels between 2008-2012. The CDM allows Annex I countries to invest in emission reduction projects in developing countries in order to earn certified emission reduction credits that can be applied toward meeting their Kyoto targets, while promoting sustainable development in developing countries. Examples of CDM project areas include afforestation, renewable energy, and methane capture from landfills.

Kyoto protocol

Justin Baby

The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement made under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It commits developed countries to reduce their emissions to 10% below 1990 levels between 2008-2012. Key mechanisms to help countries meet their targets include international emissions trading, the Clean Development Mechanism between developed and developing countries, and Joint Implementation between developed countries. While many countries have ratified the protocol, major emitters like the US have not. Developing countries like China and India are not required to reduce emissions under the agreement.

carbon credits

Kartik Chauhan

Carbon credits are certificates awarded for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. They are measured in units of carbon dioxide reduction and can be traded on exchanges. The Kyoto Protocol established a carbon trading system where countries must meet emission reduction targets or purchase credits from countries that have excess. The goal is to lower overall emissions of six greenhouse gases. While developed countries have mandatory targets, developing countries do not due to their historically low emissions per capita.

Boundaries | Gary Davis

icarb

The document summarizes a workshop discussing greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting boundaries. It provides an overview of standards and protocols for setting organizational and project boundaries. Participants shared that while consistency is important, applying boundaries can be challenging due to various standards. Improving guidance, education, and collaboration between organizations may help standardize boundary setting practices over time. The group discussed ICARB's role in boundary setting should be providing guidance and information, rather than setting standards, to influence consistent GHG accounting.

Carbon markets and its performance

shilpapanginikkode

This document provides an overview of carbon markets and their performance. It discusses global warming and the Kyoto Protocol, which established a carbon trading system. Under this system, countries receive carbon allowances and can trade excess allowances if emissions are lower than allowed. The EU ETS and Chicago Climate Exchange are two carbon markets discussed. India earns income from selling carbon credits and has companies involved in carbon trading. In conclusion, carbon trading provides incentives to reduce emissions and implement green technologies through a cap-and-trade system.

Kyoto protocol

MaJoyJocosol

The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty adopted in 1997 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It commits industrialized countries to limit emissions according to individual targets. The first commitment period was from 2008-2012, during which 36 countries participated. The Doha Amendment established emission reduction targets for a second commitment period from 2012-2020. The Kyoto Protocol established flexible market mechanisms including emissions trading, clean development mechanisms, and joint implementation to help countries meet their targets. Research has found the EU Emissions Trading System has helped reduce CO2 emissions despite low carbon prices, showing carbon markets can be effective with strong political commitment to continued regulation.

Presentation lima to paris 26-2-2015 - nafisa

archdioceseofbombay

This document summarizes key issues from climate change negotiations leading up to the 2015 Paris conference. It discusses differing perspectives between Northern and Southern countries on emissions responsibilities and targets. Past negotiations have moved backwards from binding commitments to voluntary actions. The second Kyoto commitment period saw few country ratifications and represents a small portion of global emissions. The Copenhagen and Lima conferences failed to set ambitious reduction targets. Key issues for Paris include establishing low carbon development pathways, financing for adaptation, addressing loss and damage, and including community voices in the process.

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer

Cat Bowie

The Montreal Protocol aimed to eliminate substances that deplete the ozone layer in order to protect human health and the environment. It called for phasing out chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone depleting substances, which were commonly found in products like refrigerants and aerosols. The protocol was groundbreaking in that it took action to regulate these substances before there was concrete proof of ozone depletion. It has since been highly successful, with over 190 parties phasing out the vast majority of ozone depleting substances and finding alternatives. The protocol also encouraged developing nations through financial aid and grace periods to meet requirements.
