Greenhouse gas inventoryGreenhouse gas inventories are emission inventories of greenhouse gas emissions that are developed for a variety of reasons. Scientists use inventories of natural and anthropogenic (human-caused) emissions as tools when developing atmospheric models. Policy makers use inventories to develop strategies and policies for emissions reductions and to track the progress of those policies. Regulatory agencies and corporations also rely on inventories to establish compliance records with allowable emission rates.
Atténuation du changement climatiquethumb|Consommation globale d'énergie entre 2000 et 2020. L'atténuation du changement climatique ou « atténuation du réchauffement climatique » (en anglais, climate change mitigation) regroupe les actions visant à atténuer l'ampleur du réchauffement mondial d'origine humaine par la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre ou la capture et séquestration du dioxyde de carbone de l'atmosphère.
Greenhouse gas emissionsGreenhouse gas emissions (abbreviated as GHG emissions) from human activities strengthen the greenhouse effect, contributing to climate change. Carbon dioxide (), from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is one of the most important factors in causing climate change. The largest emitters are China followed by the US, although the United States has higher emissions per capita. The main producers fueling the emissions globally are large oil and gas companies.
Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultureThe amount of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is significant: The agriculture, forestry and land use sector contribute between 13% and 21% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture contributes towards climate change through direct greenhouse gas emissions and by the conversion of non-agricultural land such as forests into agricultural land. Emissions of nitrous oxide, methane make up over half of total greenhouse gas emission from agriculture. Animal husbandry is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Marché du carbonevignette|Tableau (comparatif) des prix relatifs aux émissions de carbone dans les différentes régions du monde. Un marché du carbone est un système d'échange de droits d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre, de crédits carbone et de quotas carbone. Selon le rapport 2020 de l'« International Carbon Action Partnership », 21 marchés du carbone ont été mis en place et 24 autres sont en cours de développement ou en projet. Le marché du carbone n'est qu'une des options permettant de donner un prix au carbone.
Documentthumb|right|Exemple de document papier. Un document renvoie à un ensemble formé par un support et une information (le contenu), celle-ci enregistrée de manière persistante. Il a une valeur explicative, descriptive ou de preuve. Vecteur matériel de la pensée humaine, il joue un rôle essentiel dans la plupart des sociétés contemporaines, tant pour le fonctionnement de leurs administrations que dans l'élaboration de leurs savoirs.
Climate change scenarioClimate change scenarios or socioeconomic scenarios are projections of future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions used by analysts to assess future vulnerability to climate change. Scenarios and pathways are created by scientists to survey any long term routes and explore the effectiveness of mitigation and helps us understand what the future may hold this will allow us to envision the future of human environment system. Producing scenarios requires estimates of future population levels, economic activity, the structure of governance, social values, and patterns of technological change.
Document automationDocument automation (also known as document assembly or document management) is the design of systems and workflows that assist in the creation of electronic documents. These include logic-based systems that use segments of pre-existing text and/or data to assemble a new document. This process is increasingly used within certain industries to assemble legal documents, contracts and letters. Document automation systems can also be used to automate all conditional text, variable text, and data contained within a set of documents.
International lawInternational law (also known as public international law and the law of nations) is the set of rules, norms, and standards generally recognised as binding between states. It establishes normative guidelines and a common conceptual framework for states across a broad range of domains, including war and diplomacy, economic relations, and human rights. International law differs from state-based domestic legal systems in that it is primarily, though not exclusively, applicable to states, rather than to individuals, and operates largely through consent, since there is no universally accepted authority to enforce it upon sovereign states.
Union internationale pour la conservation de la naturevignette|Ancien logo LUnion internationale pour la conservation de la nature (UICN, en anglais ) est une organisation intergouvernementale consacrée à la conservation de la nature. Sa mission est d'influencer, d'encourager et d'assister les sociétés du monde entier, dans la conservation de l'intégrité et de la biodiversité de la nature, ainsi que de s'assurer que l'utilisation des ressources naturelles est faite de façon équitable et durable.
