Green Revolution

“2nd Green Revolution” is the technological transformation of energy

production, distribution, and consumption to green, clean, and
sustainable methods taking place in the first half of the 21st century.
Global warming

Increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and

oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.

As per Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report, global

surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C during the 20th century.

IPCC report indicates global surface temperature likely to rise a further

1.1 to 6.4 °C during the 21st century.
Effects Of Rise In Temperature

0.8 °C - Ocean warming, Species extinction , Extreme weather events

1 °C - Island Nations Under Water

2 °C - Greenland Melts, Water Supply Affected.

3 °C – Environmental Refugees, Food Shortage

4 °C - Millions Of Refugees, 1/3 rd of Bangladesh under water

6 °C - Mass Extinction
Causes

Natural Causes (Release of methane gas from arctic tundra and wetlands
which is dangerous to environment)

Man-Made Causes (Fossil Fuels

generating CO2)
UNFCC

UNFCCC Secretariat supports Institutions involved in climate change

process

A number of nations approved an addition to the treaty: the Kyoto

Protocol, which has more powerful (and legally binding) measures.

International Treaty - United Nations Framework Convention on Climate

Change (UNFCCC) - Reduce global warming
IPCC

Scientific Intergovernmental Body

1988 by the World Meteorological Organization
Evaluating the risk of climate change caused by
human activity
Kyoto Protocol

International Agreement (United Nations Framework

Convention on Climate Change) on 11th December,
1997 in Kyoto, Japan

187 Countries Signed & Ratified, 39 Industrialized

Countries and European community commit to reduce
Green House Gas (GHG) emissions
Copenhagen Summit

2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference at Copenhagen (7 th –

18th December, 2009)

To establish an ambitious global climate agreement for the period from

2012 when the first commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol
expires

Copenhagen Accord drafted by USA and BASIC on December 18, 2009 –

“Meaningful Agreement”
Carbon Credit Market

Trading of GHG emissions to meet their national

limits on emissions under Kyoto Protocol or other
agreements (EU)

Carbon credit - Tradable Certificate - Right to emit 1

tonne of CO2 or equivalent

Government or body running the carbon market will set an

annual cap on the amount of emissions that participants
such as industry and governmental bodies can cause.
