GHG emissions (Greenhouse Gas emissions)

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are gases released into the atmosphere that trap heat, similar to how a blanket keeps you warm. These include mostly carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). They come from burning fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation, and other human activities. Increased GHG emissions enhance the natural greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change. Managing and reducing these emissions is essential for protecting the environment, supporting sustainable development, and mitigating climate-related impacts.
