Sirsa afforestation project gets CDM certification eight remote villages of Haryana have entered the global carbon market. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (unfccc) registered an afforestation project on the degraded land of these villages as the world
Northeast India, being situated in the transition zone of Indian, Indo-Malayan and Indo-Chinese biogeographic regions, harbour a rich biological diversity, which is a well known fact. This is also a transition zone between the low-lying Indian peninsula and highlands of Himalayan mountain which also makes it an abode of diverse flora and fauna.
Find out what 120 global, multinational and regional organisations attitudes are to forest carbon projects in general. In addition the report also examines the motivating factors behind corporate decisions to purchase forest carbon offsets and the perceptions which organisations have regarding the additional community and biodiversity benefits that many forestry projects often provide.
This study presents the findings of research into the global socio-economic and environmental impact of biotech crops in the twelve years since they were first commercially planted on a significant area. It focuses on the farm level economic effects, the production effects, the environmental impact resulting from changes in the use of insecticides and herbicides, and the
This Project Design Document is prepared for the Marais des Cygnes National Wildlife Refuge Restoration Initiative to meet the standards of the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance.
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the discussion regarding the integration of biodiversity conservation aspects into the cross-cutting issue of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD).
Agriculture is part of the climate change problem, contributing about 13.5 percent of annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (with forestry contributing an additional 19 percent), compared with 13.1 percent from transportation.
Algae grown to trap CO2 become feed for organisms THE Indo-German experiment to induce algal bloom in the South Atlantic Ocean has been ruined by tiny marine organisms called zooplanktons. They ate half the algae grown by spraying a swathe of the ocean surface with iron dust. The ocean fertilization experiment called Lohafex was carried out by scientists from the Alfred Wegener
Subsurface storage of carbon dioxide is a major option for mitigating climate change. On one account, much of the gas sequestered in this way would end up as carbonic acid in the pore waters of the host rock.
Emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases can be reduced significantly using existing technologies, but stabilizing concentrations will require a technological revolution because it will require fundamental change, achieved within a relatively short period of time.
