Global and country wise Climate Change policies adoption

By -

Some of the key aspects that are linked with the climate change policies are carbon pricing, renewable energy, energy efficiency, climate financing, sustainable transportation, building codes, industrial emission regulations and standards, clean energy initiatives and incentives, waste management, water management, agriculture and land usage efficiency, afforestation, etc. list of some common climate change policies with briefing as below:

  1. Carbon pricing: This includes policies such as carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems, which put a price on carbon emissions in order to reduce them.

  2. Renewable energy standards: This includes policies that require a certain percentage of energy to be generated from renewable sources.

  3. Energy efficiency standards: This includes policies that set minimum energy efficiency standards for buildings and appliances.

  4. Clean energy incentives: This includes policies such as tax credits, grants, and rebates that encourage the use of clean energy.

  5. Climate adaptation funding: This includes policies that provide funding for communities and ecosystems to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

  6. Clean transportation policies: This includes policies such as incentives for electric vehicles and low-carbon fuels, as well as investment in public transportation.

  7. Deforestation and reforestation policies: This includes policies such as protected areas, conservation agreements, and afforestation projects.

  8. Industrial emissions regulations: This includes policies that set limits on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and factories.

  9. Climate research and development funding: This includes policies that provide funding for research on climate change mitigation and adaptation.

  10. Building codes: This includes policies that set energy-efficient standards for new and retrofitted buildings.

  11. Water management policies: This includes policies such as drought management plans, water conservation and efficiency measures, and water reuse and recycling programs.

  12. Agriculture and land use policies: This includes policies such as conservation tillage, agroforestry, and sustainable livestock management.

Some key global and country-wise policies developed considering the climate change impacts in to consideration:

International Agreements:

  1. Paris Agreement: An international treaty aiming to limit global warming to well below 2°C, with efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
  2. Kyoto Protocol: A treaty that commits its parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the premise that (a) global warming exists and (b) human-made CO2 emissions have caused it.

European Union:

  1. European Green Deal: A set of policy initiatives aimed at making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
  2. Fit for 55: A package of legislative proposals to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030.

United States:

  1. Inflation Reduction Act (2022): Includes provisions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting clean energy, and addressing climate change.
  2. Clean Power Plan: Although initially challenged, it aimed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.

China:

  1. National Emissions Trading System (ETS): A carbon market designed to cap and reduce carbon emissions from major industrial sectors.
  2. 14th Five-Year Plan: Includes goals for reducing carbon intensity and increasing renewable energy use.

India:

  1. National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC): Includes eight national missions focusing on areas such as solar energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable agriculture.
  2. Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) Scheme: A market-based mechanism to enhance the cost-effectiveness of improvements in energy efficiency in large energy-consuming industries.

Australia:

  1. Climate Solutions Fund: Provides funding for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  2. Emissions Reduction Fund: A scheme to purchase carbon offsets to meet Australia's emissions reduction targets.

Canada:

  1. Canada’s Climate Plan: A plan focusing on reducing carbon emissions, investing in clean technology, and creating a low-carbon economy.
  2. Carbon Pricing Mechanism: Includes a federal carbon tax and cap-and-trade systems in various provinces.

Japan:

  1. Japan's Green Growth Strategy: Aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, with a focus on innovation and green technology.
  2. Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program: A regional carbon trading scheme to reduce emissions in Tokyo.

South Korea:

  1. Korean Green New Deal: Includes investments in green energy and measures to promote a sustainable economy.
  2. Carbon Pricing and Emissions Trading Scheme: A national cap-and-trade system for large emitters.

Brazil:

  1. National Policy on Climate Change: Includes measures to reduce deforestation, increase renewable energy, and adapt to climate change impacts.
  2. Amazon Fund: Supports projects to combat deforestation and promote sustainable use of the Amazon rainforest.

These policies represent a snapshot of global efforts to address climate change. The specifics of each policy, including their effectiveness and scope, can vary widely depending on the region and its unique challenges.

In most of the western countries and developing countries are launching the new concept called the “ Recycling Malls ” in major cities and towns across their countries. The main objective of the recycle mart is to sell the used products (ex: used plastic, glass, paper, etc.). This is an innovative way of making things and helping in reducing environmental pollution in the surroundings across the globe.   There are different kinds of pollutions that are generated effecting Air, Water, Land, Food, Sea, Ocean pollutions. It is damaging the EARTH gradually and impacting directly and indirectly that are highly toxic and increase the scope of new harmful viruses etc.   Issue: Wastes are different types that are generated in the world which is mostly produced by man. Anything that is produced excess and unable to control is added into pollutant list. The recycling plants are getting adopted across the globe with different techniques, methodologies and Strategic ways in collection

Solar panels installed on the roof with a capacity of 11.5 MW in Punjab state in India India’s solar mission which has kept at a target of 175 GW and the government is trying to keep its word to generate power from all kinds of Renewable Energy Resources. As it is focused on Solar, Wind and Biomass power generation technologies. We all know that a roof is the zero cost of land and uses the space for solar panel installation. There is no requirement of a special setup is installing the solar roof. Depending upon the roof size and shading and direction of the sunlight is considered for setting up the solar panels. But, most of them have small or medium roofs that can generate in kiloWatts (kW) or Megawatt (MW) scale. In Amritsar, there is an installation od 11.5 MW capacity of a solar power plant which is completely covered with solar roof which will benefit 8000 households was built by Radha Saomi Satsang Beas (RSSB), a religious organization in Punjab.

India is witnessing a new chapter in the growth of the renewable sector, mainly in the solar sector. Hence, any new breakthrough in the field of solar cells and solar power generation is beneficial for India. New technology is being developed in the University of Chicago within the confines of its chemistry laboratory by Professor “Luping Yu”. A new kind of solar panel was designed and manufactured which has a higher efficiency when compared with the currently running modules used for power generation. The given polymer solar cell consists of a new polymer, called "PID2". The new polymer improves the efficiency of electrical power generation by 15 per cent when added to a standard polymer-fullerene mixture. New light has been shed on solar power generation using devices made with polymers. Researchers identified a new polymer a type of large molecule that forms plastics and other familiar materials which improved the efficiency of solar cells. The group also determined th
