This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 8 January 2025. Gas in an atmosphere with certain absorption characteristics This article is about the physical properties of greenhouse gases. For how human activities are adding to greenhouse gases, see Greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases trap some of the heat that results when sunlight heats ...

Distribution of global greenhouse gas emissions based on type of greenhouse gas (data from 2014) Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the dominant emitted greenhouse gas, while methane (CH 4) emissions almost have the same short-term impact. [5] Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases) play a lesser role in comparison.
CDM – Clean Development Mechanism is an arrangement under the Kyoto Protocol allowing industrialised countries with a greenhouse gas reduction commitment (called Annex 1 countries) to invest in projects that reduce emissions in developing countries as an alternative to more expensive emission reductions in their own countries.

GHG may stand for: General Healthcare Group, a British healthcare company; George H. Goble (also known as "ghg"), staff member at Purdue University; Greenhouse gas, a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy at thermal infrared wavelengths, causing the greenhouse effect; Gruppenhorchgerät, a hydrophone array which was used on Nazi Germany's U ...
This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita greenhouse gas emissions due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission. The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual per capita GHG [ n 1 ] emissions estimates (in metric tons of CO 2 ...
The GHG Protocol Corporate Standard (GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, GHGPCS) is an initiative for the global standardisation of emission of greenhouse gases in order that corporate entities should measure, quantify, and report their own emission levels, so that global emissions are made manageable.
