Building Climate Resilient Villages with Livestock Enterprises

摘要

The annual mean temperature of India has increased by 0. 6°C. The rise in mean and maximum temperature in each decade since 1901 has been continuous. Analysis of data by Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) for the past 117 years revealed that theincrease in temperature has been more in winter months than those of summer. The highest rise in temperature has been in December and February followed by November and October. November has become warmer by 1.4°C and the maximum temperature of October has increased by 1.1 °C (Table 1).Countries- mainly those having high per capita emission like US, China, Russia and Japan-need to scale up emission cut targets.IPCC estimates that world can emit only about 2900 billion tonne (giga tonne/Gt) of carbon dioxide to stay below 2°C.World has already emitted 1,900 GT of Carbon Dioxide till 2011.World will emit 748.2 Gt out of remaining 1,000 Gt of carbon dioxide by 2030.It means aggregate Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDCs) will finish 75% of carbon budget just by 2030.Aggregate INDCs will bring down the global average per capita emission by 8 per cent by 2025 & 9 per cent by 2030 from 1990 levels.India will, however, be far behind rich nations and China in terms of per capita emission even in 2030.UN body analyzed the INDCs of 146 countries, including China, US, European Union (28 nations) and India, who have submitted their plan as on October 1, 2015.
