Bill Jolly Hong Kong Cibse Presentation Co2 Emissions A Review Of The Uk Domestic Target

Billjolly

The document discusses the UK's targets for reducing CO2 emissions and reviews the country's progress towards meeting those targets. It finds that while the UK is on track to meet its commitments under the Kyoto Protocol, it is currently not on pace to achieve its domestic goal of a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions below 1990 levels by 2010. One case study estimates that a sustainable building project saved 37,000 kg of CO2 emissions per year compared to a traditional development, suggesting that widespread adoption of sustainable practices could help close the projected 10.5 million tonne emissions gap and get the UK back on track to meet its domestic climate goals.

SUSTAINABILITY, ADDRESSING OUR CHANGING ENVIRONMENT CO2 Emissions, A Review of the UK¡¯s Domestic Target Introduction Climate change and global warming are unequivocally the biggest and most fundamental problems facing planet earth and mankind t d d ki d today. Gl b l warming and climate change are Global i d li t h expected to have a cataclysmic effect across the globe. The worst effects of climate change can be avoided if greenhouse gases incorporating carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are stabilised instead of being allowed to increase.
