GHG emissions

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions refer to the release of gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, primarily from activities such as burning fossil fuels, agriculture, and deforestation. These gases trap heat from the sun, creating a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. Elevated GHG levels contribute to global warming, which can lead to climate change, impacting weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems worldwide. Reducing GHG emissions is essential to limit these adverse effects and support a sustainable, healthy planet.
