Green House Gases (GHG)
Green House Gases (GHG)
Type of Green House Gases in the Atmosphere
GHG – a greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere
that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal
infrared range. This process is the fundamental
cause of the greenhouse effect.
Cities/Urban Areas and GHG
Cities/Urban Areas Emit GHG :Sources of Green House Gas
If you want to tackle Climate
Change – Tackle the Cities
Cities/Urban areas emit GHG
2% of the World’s surface
More than 50% of world’s population
Consumes for 75% of world’s energy
consumption
Responsible for 80% of GHG
emission
Energy Consumption
Building sector represents 40% of the
world’s energy consumption and
contributes to one-third of GHG
emissions.
“CO2 is the most important anthropogenic of GHG
and the main sources of atmospheric CO2 is from
burning of fossil fuels – 75% of increase in
atmospheric CO2 since industrial times (Source:

can live in a clean, healthy and
high quality environment, where
cities, townships and communities
are built on the fundamentals of
Green Technology”

Approach
• Enables users to realize benefits of integration by planning, designing and managing the whole urban system
• E.G.: Yokohama waste reduction programme
(estimated total waste reduction for fiscal years 2001‐2007 is 623,000 tons which leads to reduction of 840,000 tons of CO2

User can opt to undertake a
One-System Approach or a Citybased Approach depending on
their objective and capacity.
A One System Approach
ASSESSMENT APPROACH TO
ENCOURAGE IMPLEMENTATION
• Enables users to lead a development process that consider their specific circumstances including ecology • E.G.: Stockholm (an old inner city industrial area transform into an attractive and ecologically sustainable district through an integrated and collaborative planning and management)
