The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which was signed in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992, is primarily concerned with the following actions for the future.. read more..

Carbon finance is a term used to describe and explores the financial implications of living in a carbon constrained world—a world in which emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases carry a price. Thus, carbon finance represents one specific dimension of environmental finance..read more..

A carbon footprint is a total set of greenhouse-gas by-product, person, event, product, service, person or organization. However, to measure carbon footprints this way required the comprehensive amount of data. Therefore, another definition is in use. Read more..

arbon tax is a term used to describe a tax on greenhouse-gas emission. In reality, carbon tax is an important instrument used to curb the greenhouse-gas emissions, particular for those emitters and installations that are not covered by emissions trading for CO2. Read more..

Chlorofluorocarbon’s (CFC’s) are man-made chemicals which cause the thinning of the ozone layer; about one half are used in building. CFC’s are also a greenhouse gas. Read more..

The Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), which became effective in 1994, is a voluntary and nonbinding declaration of standards, goals, and objectives that represents international cooperation to reduce human-made greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change (known also as “anthropogenic emissions”) Read more..

Global warming Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. Since the early 20th century, Earth’s mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C. See greenhouse gas in the Eco Fashion Dictionary

Greenhouse Effect (of the planet) is warming of the planet due to the increase density of the trace greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They have the effect of increasing absorption of sunlight by preventing the outward radiation of heat from the Earth. Read more..

Methane has many sources, both natural and human-related, but just two major sinks: its destruction in the atmosphere, and its use by certain soil bacteria. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, each kg. Read more..

Any process, activity or mechanism which removes a greenhouse gas, an aerosol or a precursor of a greenhouse gas or aerosol from the atmosphere.

1992 at the Rio Summit over 159 countries signed United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); it lay out an overall framework for an intergovernmental crusade to tackle actions posed by climate change. Read more..

Every day, large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted to the atmosphere from both anthropogenic and natural sources. These substances influence local, regional and even global photochemistry and several of them in addition have a potential impact of the climate, due to their properties as greenhouse gases and as well ability to form aerosol particles on oxidation.
