Traduction de «Principal gaz à effet de serre » (Français → Anglais) :

Although F-Gases have no ozone-depleting properties, they have a high global warming potential, in some cases thousands of times greater than carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas.

After water vapour the main GHG is carbon dioxide (CO), with methane and ozone also making a significant contribution.

Currently, the concentration of carbon dioxide—the most important greenhouse gas—is almost 390 parts per million, which is a 38% increase since pre-industrial times and the highest it has been in almost one million years.

However, car usage has significant impacts on climate change, with about 12% of the overall EU emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas, coming from the fuel consumed by passenger cars.

This will significantly reduce emissions of carbon dioxide the most important greenhouse gas.

The AOSIS protocol proposal and the German delegation's suggestions will as well as others form part of the negotiations (c) Report of the ad hoc group to the second Conference of the Parties on the state of negotiations on the protocol; completion of the negotiations six months before the third Conference of the Parties in order to allow adoption during that Conference (d) Inclusion in the ad hoc group's working programme, in cooperation with the other subsidiary bodies, of an analysis or assessment to identify potential and possible policies and measures for achieving limitations and progressive reductions of greenhouse gas emissions (e) Consideration of the following key elements for inclusion in the protocol: (i) comprehensiveness of t ...[+++]he protocol, covering all greenhouse gases, their sources and sinks and all relevant sectors; (ii) common but differentiated responsibilities of Parties in line with their respective capabilities and possibilities: - lead responsibility of Annex I Parties through specific commitments, individually or jointly, strengthening and enlarging those undertaken in Article 4(2)(a) and (b) of the Convention, - participation, over time, of non-Annex I Parties as recognized in Article 4(2)(f) and (g); establishment of a framework leading to sustainable patterns of economic development that will secure steadily increasing economic growth while restraining the growth of greenhouse gas emissions; (iii) combined approach including both policies and measures as well as targets and timetables such as 2005 and 2010, taking into account the differences in starting points and approaches, economic structures and resource bases as set out in Article 4(2)(a); (iv) coordinated policies and measures covering CO2 and other greenhouse gases, in particular in those areas where international coordination is called for in view of competitiveness concerns, priority being given to: - measures subject to competitiveness concerns; - measures concerning globall ...
