The Asia-Pacific Integrated Model (Aim) Brings Together Models Belonging To Diverse Disciplines For Analysing Policies On Climate Change, Pollution Management And Ecosystems Preservation. The Focus Of Aim Is On National And Regional Policy Assessments In The Asia-Pacific Region And Their Interface With Global Economic And Environmental Regimes. In This Book, Climate Change Policy Assessment Studies For India Using Top-Down (Macroeconomic) And Bottom-Up (Techno-Economic) Models Belonging To The Aim Family Are Presented. The Book Will Be Of Particular Interest To Policymakers, Modelers, Researchers And Research Networks Interested In The Areas Of Development, Energy, Environment And Climate Change.
India’s energy system has evolved around domestic coal, sizable imports of oil and LNG, moderate contribution of hydro power, declining and yet sizable use of traditional biomass as cooking fuel by rural households and growing attention to modern renewable, nuclear and energy efficient technologies. India’s per-capita GHG emissions are below the global average and far below those in the developed countries. Notwithstanding the inherited fossil based energy system and high economic growth expectations, India voluntarily committed to reduce GHG emissions intensity of the economy by 20-25 per cent from 2005 to 2020. This book details inventory of energy and emissions at national and sector ...
This Volume Analyses The Economic, Infrastructural, Environmental And Security Stakes Of India`S Energy Supply. It Also Provides Solutions For An Issue That Will Dramatically Affect The Future Of India, As An Economic And Political Power.
Contributed articles presented at a workshop held at Ahmedabad on Dec. 8, 1995; dealing in the Indian context in particular and developing countries in general.
This Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report provides a comprehensive and transparent assessment of the literature on climate change mitigation. The report assesses progress in climate change mitigation options for reducing emissions and enhancing sinks. With greenhouse gas emissions at the highest levels in human history, this report provides options to achieve net zero, as pledged by many countries. The report highlights for the first time the social and demand-side aspects of climate mitigation, and assesses the literature on human behaviour, lifestyle, and culture, and its implications for mitigation action. It brings a wide range of disciplines, notably from the social sciences, within the scope of the assessment. IPCC reports are a trusted source for decision makers, policymakers, and stakeholders at all levels (international, regional, national, local) and in all branches (government, businesses, NGOs). Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Addressing methane emissions from livestock and rice systems is vital for promoting sustainable agriculture and mitigating climate change. This FAO report comprehensively addresses methane emissions in agriculture and their impact on global greenhouse gas levels. By analysing sources, sinks, quantification methods, and mitigation strategies, this publication highlights challenges and opportunities to reduce methane emissions from livestock and rice production systems.
Part of the prestigious Novartis Foundation, this is the first book to review the pathology associated with acetaldehyde, a known toxic agent found in cigarette smoke and other pollutants and derived from ingested alcohol, amongst other sources. In the body, acetaldehyde affects several tissues, particularly the brain and liver, causing various diseases, including cancer, alcoholic liver disease and Alzheimer’s. Acetaldehyde-Related Pathology describes the toxic effects of acetaldehyde at the tissue and cellular levels, reviewing enzyme biochemistry, transgenic mouse models of alcohol dehydrogenase mutants, and the cell-signalling pathways implicated in alcohol-related pathology. It explor...
