The concentration level of Green-house gases in Jammu &
Kashmir and Tamil Nadu. pls explain

The Climate Change Centre J&K, a research cell working on vulnerability, adaptation,

mitigation and impacts of climate change for the Department of Ecology, Environment

and Remote Sensing J & K, has prepared this report on Emission Inventory of CO2 in

Jammu and Kashmir – A Sectoral Analysis in 2013-14. Inventory of Greenhouse Gases was

one of the high priority action proposed in the State Action Plan on Climate Change as

there is a global scientific consensus with regard to the unequivocal nature of the climate

change and its association with increasing concentration of greenhouse gas emissions is

widely established. The change in climatic condition has manifested through alteration in

frequency, intensity and spatial extent of weather and climate extremes. The range of

hydro-meteorological events include heat waves, heavy precipitation, drought,

windstorms, hailstorms, etc., have emerged as serious threats to both human and natural

systems. Such climatic variability is likely to lead to extreme condition or impacts. The

impacts over economy or sustainable development are severe when the intensity of the

event goes beyond a critical threshold in a social, ecological, or physical system, or

through interplay with any other event.

According to the large scale national assessment, Jammu & Kashmir ranking in 2012

with respect to aggregate GHG emissions in the Country was 19th

. Keeping in view the

scanty data sources quoted in such reports, this report takes into account the best

available state level activity data and mainly focuses on emissions from different sectors

such as Energy, Industry, Land-use, Land-use Change and Forestry (LULCF) and Waste at

State Level.

The net Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from J&K,

that is emissions from Energy, Agriculture, Livestock and

wastes have been calculated to be 11663.89 thousand

tons of CO2 equivalents (eq) in 2013-14. Out of this,

CO2 emissions were 5141.81 thousand ton
