GHG (Greenhouse Gases)

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat, keeping the planet warm enough to sustain life. Key GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). They are produced by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and agriculture. While these gases are naturally occurring and essential for maintaining our climate, excessive emissions from human activities contribute to global warming and climate change, leading to environmental issues that affect weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems. Reducing GHG emissions is crucial for a sustainable future.
