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.
