Copenhagen accord was organized keeping in mind the expiry of Kyoto in 2012
– Countries had submitted their emission targets for 2020 along with the acceptance of the formation of the
Road Ahead “Copenhagen Green Fund”
Mechanism to mobilize funds to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD)
• Since 1850, fossil fuel combustion has released about 406 Giga tones of carbon (GtC) of which
180 GtC is left in the atmosphere, while the rest is absorbed by vegetation and oceans
Cause • Change in land, converting forests to urban centers (deforestation), has altered the climate
system
• Variation in solar output (from the sun) and CO2 emitted by volcanic eruption has also lead to
increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
• Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (379ppm) and CH4 (1774ppb) in 2005 exceeded far beyond
Outcome the natural range over the last 0.65 mn years
• Contribution of India to the cumulative global CO2 emissions in 2008 was 479 mn mt
• Global Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will increase by 25% to 90% (CO2-eq) between 2000 and
2030
• Temperature is expected to increase by about 0.2°C per decade
Possible 20-30% of species will extinct if temperature exceeds 1.5 – 2.5 °C.
Effects • Global sea level rise has increased from 0.8 mm per year in the 1990s to 1.2 mm per year in 2010
• These irregularities in the climate will have a detrimental effect on crop cultivation affecting
mankind at large
To tackle the problem of global warming, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or FCCC) -
an international environmental treaty - was formed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development
(UNCED), informally known as the Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992
