Carbon Emission Problem of Developing Country

CHAPTER 01-INTRODUCTION

Research Background

In the year 2010, around 90% of the energy consumption of the world is come from the consumption of coal, natural gas and oil, whereas the remaining percentage is contributed by hydro, nuclear and much lesser degree renewable such as solar and wind. The emission of carbon dioxide from worldwide use of fossil fuel is the largest source from where the greenhouse gas is emitted. It is the biggest source of anthropogenic global warming. Furthermore, consumption of energy does not show any sign of slowdown in many coming decades as the developing countries like India and china has joined the global economy and emerging nations are competing for resources of fossil fuel energy. In the 21st century, for the first time, a non-OECD state was responsible for the consumption of highest energy than an OECD state. For the coming several years, this gap will significantly get wider with an ever greater share of consumption of energy by emerging economies. It is forecasted that between 2000 and 2035, the consumption of energy will be grown by almost 200% as compared to only 20% in OECD states. Two quickly emerging states India and China will contribute half of the growth in global demand for energy over this time (Bombelli, 2011).

Problem Statement

Developing countries are following the bad example of the industrialized countries. These countries are getting on with the backlog of CO2 emissions. Per capita, developing countries still emit far less greenhouse gases than developed countries, but the gap has narrowed from 1:17 in 1950 to 1:3 in 2009 and is expected to shrink further (Bombelli, 2011).

Research Objectives

This research has following objectives:

To find out the impact of increasing Emission of CO2 in developing world on Forestry and Climate Change.

To find out the whether the industrialization contributes in ...
