About

Earlier this month, a long-anticipated climate milestone was measured in Hawaii: The last time the concentration of Earth's main greenhouse gas reached 400 ppm, the Arctic was ice-free and sea levels were over 10 meter higher.

“With 400 ppm CO₂ in the atmosphere, we have crossed an historic threshold and entered a new danger zone. The world must wake up and take note of what this means for human security, human welfare and economic development.”

Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Christiana Figueres

The set timetable for validation midyear and registration with the UN end of 2013 is on track. DG Works Ltd, a Rwandan company based in Kigali with experience in developing emission reducing projects, has come on board in the capacity as Coordinating and Managing Entity (CME) and a small scale grid-connected hydro power project has been selected as a pilot project.

Tricorona är världsledande på att utveckla projekt som minskar utsläppen av växthusgaser. Projekten används dels inom Kyotoprotokollets flexibla mekanismer och dels till frivilligmarknaden då företag, myndigheter och privatpersoner önskar klimatkompensera.

Tricoronas konsultorganisation stödjer kunder med att beräkna deras utsläpp av växthusgaser. vi söker nu en analytiker som kan medverka i hela kedjan från säljstöd till beräkning av utsläpp av växthusgaser och presentation av de färdiga rapporterna.

These schemes are expected to cover:
- around 850 million people
- around 30 per cent of the global economy, and
- around 20 per cent of global emissions.

The sooner action is taken, the cheaper the overall bill to our economies will be. Assuming a 2 degree target we would need to reduce emissions year-on-year by over 2 %. The report contains an interesting annex detailing the climate change policies of all major economies.

The CDM can trigger at least 1 trillion US$ private sector investment until 2020, the sort of magnitude we need to see over the coming years if we are serious about staying below the two-degree climate warming target.

The  CDM has to date delivered 1.3 billion CERs and the electricity produced by its renewable energy projects alone is sufficient to cover the entire annual demand of the UK.
