Gender Disparities
Statistical differences, also referred as gender gaps, between men and women, that reflect an inequality in some quantity.
Global Warming Potential (GWP)
The Global Warming Potential is a relative measure of how much heat can a Greenhouse Gas hold for a determined period of time, in comparison to the CO2 as a reference gas.
Global Warming
Global warming refers to the long term heating of the Earth’s surface, measured since pre-industrial times, that has been generated due to human activities like fossil fuel combustion, which as a consequence generates Greenhouse Gases.
Greenwashing
Greenwashing is a term created by the environmental activist Jay Westervelt refers to the marketing actions taken by a company or institution to promote environmentally friendly practices that, real or not, intend to deviate the attention from climate negative activities.
GHG Protocol Project Quantification Standard
The GHG Protocol for Project Accounting is an additional tool of the GHG protocol Initiative to address the quantification of GHG benefits of GHG reduction projects.
GHG Protocol
The GHG Protocol Initiative is a multi-stakeholder collaboration between the World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development to design, develop and promote the use of accounting and reporting standards for business.
Greenhouse Effect
The Greenhouse Effect is generated by the abundant presence of greenhouse gases, which re-emit part of the exiting infrared radiation waves back into the Earth, increasing the planet’s temperature and potentiating global warming.
Greenhouse Gases (GHG)
Greenhouse gases are the gases present in the atmosphere that have the property to absorb and re-emit the infrared radiation waves emitted by the Earth’s surface (both land and ocean).
