GLOBAL WARMING
“Global warming is
defined as an increase in
the average temperature
of the Earth's
atmosphere, especially a
sustained increase great
enough to cause
changes in the global
climate”.
OVER VIEW
• The developing countries, which by 2050 will account for around eight
billion out
• of a world population of nine billion, and the greater part of global
emissions,
• will have to be fundamentally involved in achieving global emission
reductions.
• • The world should aim for a liquid international carbon market in order to
allow
• for the most effective, efficient, and equitable emissions reductions.
• • In addition, non-price interventions are required to expand the global
market for
• low-carbon technologies, support common standards, and promote
costeffective
• reduced deforestation.
• .
• Developing countries must draw up emissions reduction plans now, and
be able
• to benefit from scaled-up opportunities to sell emissions reduction
certificates.
• • Developed countries will need to take on immediate and binding
national
• emissions targets, demonstrate that they can achieve low carbon growth,
and
• transfer resources and technologies to developing countries, before
developing
• countries take on binding national targets of their own by 2020.
• Existing international institutions will need to evolve in order to deal
with the
• nature and scale of the challenge, coordinate global financial flows, and
support
• vulnerable countries in adapting to the impact of climate change. In the
longer
• term it might be necessary to design and create new institutions

XP
There is no single solution to global warming, which is primarily
a problem of too much heat-trapping carbon dioxide (CO2), methane
and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. The technologies and approaches
outlined below are all needed to bring down the emissions of these
gases by at least 80 percent by mid-century.
• Boosting energy efficiency:
The energy used to power, heat, and cool our homes,
businesses, and industries is the single largest contributor to
global warming. Energy efficiency technologies allow us to use
less energy to get the same—or higher—level of production,
service, and comfort. This approach has vast potential to save
both energy and money, and can be deployed quickly.
• Greening transportation: The transportation sector's emissions
have increased at a faster rate than any other energy-using sector over the
past decade. A variety of solutions are at hand, including improving
efficiency (miles per gallon) in all modes of transport, switching to low-
carbon fuels, and reducing vehicle miles traveled through smart growth and
more efficient mass transportation systems.
• Revving up renewable: Renewable energy sources such as solar,
wind, geothermal and bioenergy are available around the world. Multiple
studies have shown that renewable energy has the technical potential to
meet the vast majority of our energy needs. Renewable technologies can be
deployed quickly, are increasingly cost-effective, and create jobs while
reducing pollution.
• Managing forests and agriculture: Taken together, tropical
deforestation and emissions from agriculture represent nearly 30
percent of the world's heat-trapping emissions. We can fight global
warming by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation and by making our food production practices more
sustainable
 Phasing out fossil fuel electricity: Dramatically reducing our use of fossil
fuels—especially carbon-intensive coal—is essential to tackle climate change.
There are many ways to begin this process. Key action steps include: not
building any new coal-burning power plants, initiating a phased shutdown of coal
plants starting with the oldest and dirtiest, and capturing and storing carbon
emissions from power plants. While it may sound like science fiction, the
technology exists to store carbon emissions underground. The technology has
not been deployed on a large scale or proven to be safe and permanent, but it
has been demonstrated in other contexts such as oil and natural gas recovery.
Demonstration projects to test the viability and costs of this technology for power
plant emissions are worth pursuing.
.
 Exploring nuclear: Because nuclear power results in few global warming
emissions, an increased share of nuclear power in the energy mix could help
reduce global warming—but nuclear technology poses serious threats to our
security and, as the accident at the Fukushima Diaichi plant in Japan illustrates to
our health and the environment as well. The question remains: can the safety,
proliferation, waste disposal, and cost barriers of nuclear power be overcome?
• Developing and deploying new low-carbon and zero-carbon technologies: Research into
and development of the next generation of low-carbon technologies will be critical to deep
mid-century reductions in global emissions. Current research on battery technology, new
materials for solar cells, harnessing energy from novel sources like bacteria and algae, and
other innovative areas could provide important breakthroughs.
• Ensuring sustainable development: The countries of the world—from the most to the least
developed—vary dramatically in their contributions to the problem of climate change and in
their responsibilities and capacities to confront it. A successful global compact on climate
change must include financial assistance from richer countries to poorer countries to help
make the transition to low-carbon development pathways and to help adapt to the impacts
of climate change.
• Adapting to changes already underway: As the Climate Hot Map demonstrates, the impacts
of a warming world are already being felt by people around the globe. If climate change
continues unchecked, these impacts are almost certain to get worse. From sea level rise to
heat waves, from extreme weather to disease outbreaks, each unique challenge requires
locally-suitable solutions to prepare for and respond to the impacts of global warming.
Unfortunately, those who will be hit hardest and first by the impacts of a changing climate
are likely to be the poor and vulnerable, especially those in the least developed countries.
Developed countries must take a leadership role in providing financial and technical help for
adaptation.
