Homework 3

Scope

Current trends in environmental change demands that issues of climate change be critically assessed. Recent environmental catastrophes have been attributed to global warming as a result of basically the increase in the production of ghg. This work is a strategic plan for cities to reduce ghg emissions to meet both Kyoto standards and EU objectives by the 2020 and the efforts for sustainable management of nature and environment,

Question

From the status quo in European cities such as emissions from transport and major power plants and compiling a list of existing activities with relevance to climate protection, what are the policies towards adapting to climate change or a greener environment?

Boundaries

2012-2020
