Climate Goals & Targets
Long-term Goals:
- Not disclosed
Medium-term Goals:
- Not disclosed
Short-term Goals:
- Reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide to 330 ppm by 2031-2040 (through increased photosynthesis).
Environmental Challenges
- Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest and other rainforests, leading to reduced photosynthesis and increased CO2 emissions.
- Groundwater contamination due to improper drainage, septic tanks, solid waste disposal, and industrial effluents.
- Climate change impacts on ecosystem services and livelihoods in the Indian Sundarban Delta.
- Greenhouse gas emission risk from forest fires in the Mediterranean basin.
- Water pollution and fishery losses due to paraquat herbicide abuse.
- Problematic groundwater contaminants in oil and gas producing areas of Rivers State, Nigeria.
Mitigation Strategies
- Stopping deforestation and burning of rainforests, followed by controlled burning after 10 years to heal the Amazon and increase photosynthesis.
- Regular monitoring of hand pumps in industrial areas to protect human health.
- Implementing appropriate measures to minimize the risk associated with drinking groundwater and finding alternative water resources.
- Developing an innovative GHG emission risk model to prioritize fire prevention measures and preventive silviculture.
- Further research on the toxicity mechanism of paraquat to fish kidney cells.
- Continuous monitoring of water quality in oil producing areas to protect man and the environment.
