GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions refer to gases released into the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. These gases include carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O), primarily produced by activities like burning fossil fuels, agriculture, and deforestation. While naturally occurring GHGs are essential for maintaining Earth's temperature, human activities have significantly increased their concentrations, leading to global warming and climate change. Managing GHG emissions involves reducing sources, promoting renewable energy, and adopting sustainable practices to protect the environment and future health.
