Urgent Action to Combat Climate Change
Urgent Action to Combat Climate Change
Goal no 13 in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Goal 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. It is intrinsically linked to all 16 of the other Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To address climate change, countries adopted the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius.

It's true, we are only limited by our thinking,
Often we believe such Global Sustainable goals are not relevant in our day to day operations.
However, they are if only we can connect the dots.... AND #STARTSIMPLE. #ITS POSSIBLE
Together #ITS POSSIBLE.

What is Climate Change ?
What is Climate Change ?
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.
What are Effects of Climate Change ?
What are Effects of Climate Change ?
Hotter Temperature.
More severe Storms.
Increased Droughts.
A warming, rising ocean levels.
Loss of species.
Not enough foods.
more health risks.
Poverty and displacement

2653 gm CO2 emission per Liter of Diesel.
2653 gm CO2 emission per Liter of Diesel.
1 Liter of diesel weighs 835 gm.
It consists of 86.2% carbon.
Translates to 720 gm of carbon per liter.
In order to combust it requires 1920 gm of Oxygen.
Thus, CO2 emission = 2640 gm (720 + 1920)
Emission Factor (adjusted) = 2.653 KG CO2 per Liter of Diesel.
2.296 gm CO2 Emission per liter of Petrol
2.296 gm CO2 Emission per liter of Petrol
1 Liter of petrol weighs 750 gm.
It consists of 87% carbon.
Translates to 652 gm of carbon per liter of petrol.
In order to combust it requires 1740 gm of Oxygen.
Thus , CO2 emission = 2392 gm (652 + 1740)
Emission Factor (adjusted) = 2.296 KG CO2 per liter of petrol

200 Watt/Hour for Computer (loudspeaker + printer).
200 Watt/Hour for Computer (loudspeaker + printer).
Average Consumption of Desktop is 200 watt/hour.
Total Work hours in a year = 8*365 = 2920 hours/year.
For 8 Hours a Day - 1600 watts/day.
For 365 days in a year - 584 kWh
As per CEA , Govt of India, CO2 is emission per kWh is average 0.85 kg.
Emission Factor for desktop working 8 hours everyday for 365 days = 584 * .85 = 496.4 kg CO2
Emission Factor per Hour for Desktop = 496.4 / 2920 = 0.17 Kg/hr CO2

50 -100 watt/hour for Laptop
Average Consumption of Desktop is 100 watt/hour.
Total Work hours in a year = 8*365 = 2920 hours/year.
For 8 Hours a Day - 800 watts/day.
For 365 days in a year - 292 kWh
As per CEA , Govt of India, CO2 is emission per kWh is average 0.85 kg.
Emission Factor for desktop working 8 hours everyday for 365 days = 292 * .85 = 248.2 kg CO2
Emission Factor per Hour for Desktop = 248.2 / 2920 = 0.085 Kg/hr CO2
