Carbon Finance

 

It is expected that the rapidly increasing concentration of green house gases (GHGs) will increase the global mean surface temperature by 1.4 – 5.8o C over the next 100 years. The repercussions of this will be severe particularly for developing countries, as their lack of resources makes them vulnerable to emergencies on a large scale.

Under the Kyoto Protocol, Annex I countries of UNFCCC have taken binding commitments to reduce GHG emissions. The Kyoto Protocol provides for project based mechanisms, Clean Development Mechanism in particular, that allow a non Annex - I country like India to participate by developing projects that reduce GHG emissions below the "business as usual" scenario and contribute to sustainable development. The emission reductions from eligible project activities can be used by Annex I countries or entities authorized by Annex I countries to meet their commitments to reduce GHG emissions.

If this is your situation:

You are a private sector or a government company or a non government organization situated in a developing country:

  •  
    • That is currently using fossil fuel as its primary energy source and wants to switch to cleaner fuels to meet your energy requirement
    • That currently has industrial processes which let off waste heat and gases that are not being captured and put to use
    • That is engaged in power generation from renewable sources such as biomass, solar, wind, hydro
    • That has scope to reduce its overall energy requirement by improving its energy efficiency
    • That is engaged in capturing or avoiding methane from waste
    • That has industrial processes or products which emit specific waste gases including hydro fluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, nitrous oxide and sulphurhexafluoride which are captured or avoided
    • That is engaged in forestry activities

Its the best example that every women should learn from this.
The girls should also see that do not go so close to the male and do not trust the man without having proper information of his character. This will help you in such a case.
Why women want to have a favor from other. She is so good and kind she play different role in her life and she manage all the role perfectly. She is been given equal rights as men in the society.
