31.08.07 UN climate chief supports per capita GHG targets

Setting greenhouse gas emissions targets relative to countries' population is the "only equitable ultimate solution" in the long run, according to Yvo de Boer, head of the UN climate change secretariat, as global climate talks stumble.

30.08.07 Market for avoided deforestation would slash global emissions: report

The UN should establish a new market for greenhouse gas emissions reductions from forest preservation and design it to merge with the Kyoto protocol’s global carbon trading programme, according to a proposal released today by the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP).
依據今日空氣清淨政策中心(CCAP)的一份報告指出,聯合國應該建置一新市場供來自於保存森林的溫室氣體減量額度,並將之整合於京都議訂書的全球碳交易機制。
(難道為了減量額度而砍老樹種新樹的狀況很嚴重?)

30.08.07 Kyoto countries discuss GHG reductions of 25-40 per cent by 2020

Countries that have ratified the Kyoto protocol are this evening in Vienna discussing setting "indicative" targets for rich countries to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 25-40 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, but delegates find it unlikely an agreement will be reached.
參與京都議訂書的國家稍早在維也納討論,為了在2020年以前,把溫室氣體排放量減到到1990水準的60-75%,應該對富國設定「象徵性」目標。不過與會成員發現這項協議不大可能達成。

30.08.07 Interview: Carbon credits should be rated like any other asset

Of the growing number of UN registered greenhouse gas emission reduction projects, it is unlikely that the total promised volume of credits will be delivered. Ian Johnson of Idea Carbon explains why, and gives reasons for carbon credits to be rated like other assets.
就聯合國登記溫室氣體減量計畫案的成長數字看來,不太可能所有承諾的額度都是被實現。Idea Carbon的Ian Johnson解是為何碳減量額度應該像其他資產一樣需要評價。
(我以為有ㄟ,至少做計畫的過程,到實際執行的過程都會有第三方認證。)

29.08.07 US to propose post-2012 GHG target: negotiator

The US will propose a long-term domestic greenhouse gas emission target when it meets with the world’s biggest emitting countries later this year, according to the country's chief climate negotiator, Harlan Watson.

德國內閣今日宣布已同意一連串措施,將使該國溫室氣體減少至其1990年排放量的60%。
(老新聞,但又跟之前消息說無法達成有矛盾,what happen?)
