Then And Now: Our Planet's Temperature! Looking at these small global maps, we can see a transformation: In the 1790s, our world was painted in cooling blues, but as we move through time, something remarkable happens. The 1800s and early 1900s show a delicate dance between blue and pink patterns, yet this balance wasn't meant to last. By the 1930s, we start seeing more warm colors creeping in, and then something dramatic occurs - the 1970s mark a turning point where reds begin to dominate. Now, as we reach the 2000s and 2010s, those subtle pink tones have transformed into intense reds, painting a clear picture of our warming world. But what's truly striking? The acceleration of change in recent decades. #GlobalWarming Follow me (Harshal) for exciting #ESG and #climatechange trivia.

🌍 Decarbonization: A Path to a Sustainable Future 🌍 Decarbonization is a crucial step in reducing our carbon footprint and limiting global warming. The goal is to achieve net carbon neutrality by 2050, and this requires a significant shift from fossil fuels to alternative low-carbon energy sources. Here’s why it matters and how we can make a difference: 🔍 Understanding Carbon Emissions: Carbon Footprint: The total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by our activities. Sources: Transportation, electricity production, industry, agriculture, and more. 💡 Key Steps to Decarbonization: Transition to Renewable Energy: Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are essential to replace fossil fuels. Energy Efficiency: Implementing energy-saving technologies and practices in homes, businesses, and industries. Electrification: Shifting to electric vehicles (EVs) and electric heating systems. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): Technologies that capture and store CO2 emissions from industrial processes. Sustainable Practices: Reducing waste, recycling, and supporting sustainable agriculture. 📊 Facts and Examples: 🌞 Solar Power: The cost of solar energy has dropped by more than 80% in the past decade, making it one of the most affordable energy sources. 🚗 Electric Vehicles: EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and are becoming increasingly popular, with global sales surpassing 10 million in 2023. 🌱 Reforestation: Planting trees can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, with one mature tree absorbing up to 48 pounds of CO2 per year. 🌟 Join the Movement: Every action counts! Whether it's switching to renewable energy, reducing energy consumption, or supporting policies that promote sustainability, we all have a role to play in achieving a carbon-neutral future.🌿💚 #Decarbonization #Sustainability #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #NetZero2050

🌍 Can carbon credits really make a difference in the fight against climate change? Carbon offsets have become a crucial part of reducing global emissions, but how exactly do they work? For many, the concept might seem complex or unclear, so let's break it down. From the creation of carbon credits through certified projects to their eventual retirement, each credit represents a concrete reduction in CO₂. This process not only supports sustainable initiatives but also empowers individuals and organizations to balance their carbon footprint. ✨ What's in this PDF? In this easy-to-follow carousel, you'll discover: - How carbon credits are generated. - How they are traded in the market. - How credits are eventually retired to ensure CO₂ reduction. ➡️ Swipe through the carousel to learn more! 💬 What’s your take on carbon offsets? Do you see them as a valuable tool in combating climate change, or do you think we need to go further? Share your thoughts in the comments! 🔔 Follow Jay Monga for more insights!

🌍 Understanding and Calculating Scope 3 GHG Emissions 🌍 Scope 3 emissions are the hidden giants of a company’s carbon footprint. Unlike Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from energy use), Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions that occur across a company’s value chain, often accounting for up to 80-90% of total emissions. 📈 Here’s a quick breakdown of the 15 categories that make up Scope 3: 1️⃣ Purchased Goods & Services 2️⃣ Capital Goods 3️⃣ Fuel- and Energy-Related Activities 4️⃣ Upstream Transportation & Distribution 5️⃣ Waste Generated in Operations 6️⃣ Business Travel 7️⃣ Employee Commuting 8️⃣ Upstream Leased Assets 9️⃣ Downstream Transportation & Distribution 🔟 Processing of Sold Products 1️⃣1️⃣ Use of Sold Products 1️⃣2️⃣ End-of-Life Treatment of Sold Products 1️⃣3️⃣ Downstream Leased Assets 1️⃣4️⃣ Franchises 1️⃣5️⃣ Investments How do we calculate Scope 3? 📊 1. Data Collection: Gather activity data across the supply chain (from suppliers, business travel, product use, etc.) 2. Emission Factors: Use relevant emission factors for each activity (sourced from GHG Protocol, Carbon Trust, etc.) 3. Activity Data: Quantities of materials, transportation distances, waste volumes, and more. 4. Calculation: Multiply activity data by emission factors to estimate emissions for each category. Why It Matters: Calculating and reducing Scope 3 emissions is challenging but essential for companies aiming to make a meaningful impact on their overall emissions and sustainability goals. 🌱🌍 By focusing on Scope 3, companies can drive systemic change, supporting suppliers, customers, and partners in adopting lower-carbon practices. 📢 #Sustainability #Scope3Emissions #GHGProtocol #CarbonFootprint #ClimateAction

The Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM) is an upcoming framework under the Paris Agreement, established by Article 6.4, designed to improve and replace some aspects of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) from the Kyoto Protocol. SDM will aim to create a standardized global framework for carbon trading and emissions reduction, encouraging sustainable development and high-integrity carbon credit of next gen. SDM is expected to face challenges on: 1. Quality of the carbon credits and its verifications. 2. Global Cooperation and Accounting 🛑 SDM facilitates international cooperation by allowing countries and private entities to trade emissions reductions globally. This mechanism will require rigorous accounting to avoid issues like double counting, which previously undermined the credibility of carbon credits. 3. Focus to drive SDGs. 4. Market Stability for carbon credits 5. Alignment with National Commitments ✅ Countries participating in the SDM can count these emissions reductions toward their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. This alignment ensures that the SDM contributes to global climate goals rather than standalone initiative. SDM is still under development, with details being finalized by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Once fully operational, the SDM is expected to support a more credible, impactful, and ethical carbon market that addresses both climate goals and sustainability. #Futurism
