1) Solar radiation
22) Reflected back to space

3) Absorbed by atmosphere
4 4) Infra-red radiations emittedfrom Earth
The effect is increasing temperatures
on Earth
5
5) Some of the IR passes
through the atmosphere
6
6) Some is absorbed and
re-emitted by greenhouse
gas molecules

Six emissions: CO2, CH4, N2O, PFCs, HFCs, SF6
Binding emission reduction targets for Annex Icountries of 5.2% below 1990 over 2008-2012
Non-Annex I countries have no binding targets butmust report on their actions
Annex I countries can achieve targets throughdomestic policies and three market mechanisms
Non-Annex I countries can participate through theClean Development Mechanism to facilitatesustainable development
Rules for implementation worked out at annual COPmeetings

Commitments to reduce GHG : establishingcommitments for the reduction of greenhouse gases thatare legally binding for Annex I countries.
Implementation :Annex I countries are required toprepare policies and measures for the reduction ofgreenhouse gases in their respective countries.
Minimizing Impacts on Developing Countries byestablishing an adaptation fund for climate change.
Accounting, Reporting and Review in order to
ensure the integrity of the Protocol. Compliance:Establishing a Compliance Committee
to enforce compliance with the commitments underthe Protocol.

ET - Emissions Trading :AAU (Assigned AmountUnits) are exchanged between Annex I countries
JI - Joint Implementation :Annex I investors receive
ERUs (Emission Reduction Units) by investing in aproject in another Annex I nation which reduces GHGemissions
CDM - Clean Development Mechanism
Annex I investors receive CERs (Certified EmissionReductions) by investing in a project in a non-Annex Ination which reduces GHG emissions

Limitations of CO2 emissions in
developed countries (Annex I)
4 options for companies
1/Pay expensive
fines. 2/Carry out carbonreduction through
processesimprovement
3/Buyemissions
credits on the

India has the worlds second largest population andthe worlds sixth largest emitter of carbon dioxide.
It is estimated that India emits 908 millions tonnesof CO2 in 1998 and 4 % of the worlds total (2002)
The rate of growth of GHG emission in India is4.6% annually , compared to 2% world average .
