Global Warming: Origin, Significance and Management

A descriptive as well as analytical study—this book attempts to tell the reader how the growing demand for energy and goods is responsible for increasing global temperature and how best we can manage to limit the temperature rise by using various management tools without making compromise with the basic needs. The book begins with an introductory section which describes the concept of global warming, its origin, and significance. Various management tools and methodologies have been discussed in detail in the second part of the book, alongwith the global efforts towards reducing and minimising of global warming. Independent chapters have been devoted to management of GHGs in different sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, etc., and also covered in the book are topical issues such as emission trading and corporate social responsibility towards management of climate change.
