The intensity increment of Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere is the main cause of
climate change effect such as an increase in natural disasters occurrence
Greenhouse Gases (GHG):
Gases in the atmosphere that trap heat. Five main GHG that dominates the atmosphere are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide,
water vapor and ozone.

Carbon Footprint:
the total amount of GHG emitted by individual, organization, or product either directly or indirectly into the atmosphere as a result of
human activities. Total GHG is calculated by adding the emissions from every stage of a product or services’ lifetime:

Material Production Manufacturing Use End-of-life

The science behind: Heat Trap

Heat from the sun comes through the atmosphere and then
emitted back as infrared radiation. Greenhouse effect is when
the heat tries to leave earth, but some of it gets trapped by
chemicals like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane in
the atmosphere.

GHG refers to gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. The


increase of GHG quantity in the atmosphere means an
increase in trapped heat that correspond to rise of global
temperature.

Rule of thumb

● CO2 offsetting rate varies from 21.8 to 31.5 kg CO2 per tree ● There are approximately 300 to 500 trees per hectare
● To compensate 1 tonne of CO2 31 to 46 trees are required ● 1 hectare of forest: 500 trees x 24 kg CO2/tree = 12 tonnes CO2
● 1,000 kWh of electricity emits 400 kg of CO2 offsets/hectare
● 1,000 kWh of natural gas emits 181 kg of CO2
● 1 liter of fuel oil emits approximately 2.7 kg of CO2

There are two main tools of carbon reduction solution: technology base and nature base

Technology Base Nature-Based Solutions

Strategy to remove CO2 using natural processes and natural


Innovative methods that are designed to remove CO2 from habitats to sequester GHG from the atmosphere and store it
the atmosphere or remove it from emission sources. in vegetation, soils, and others. There could be an
involvement of technology in the nature-based solutions.

Examples: Examples:

● Energy Efficiency Improvements: implementing energy ● Renewable Energy Transition: changing from fossil
efficient technologies fuels base to renewable energy sources (solar, wind,
hydroelectric and geothermal power)
● Low Carbon Transportation: encourage cycling, walking
and electric vehicles ● Carbon Offsetting: investing in carbon offset projects
that remove CO2 from the atmosphere, example:
● Carbon Capture Storage: capturing carbon from power
reforestation, afforestation or carbon farming initiatives
plant and storing it underground to prevent GHG release in
the atmosphere ● Sustainable Agriculture: adopting farming practices
that improve soil health and reduce greenhouse
● Green Building Design: constructing energy-efficient

building
● Waste Reduction and Recycling: the aim is to reduce
methane and potent GHG from landfills

19
Alternative to Nature Base Solution: Coastal Blue Carbon where absorptions of CO2 from the atmosphere
and storing it within saltwater ecosystems gain traction as it generates higher amount of carbon
Salt Marshes Mangroves Seagrass Meadows

Soils and vegetation in coastal ecosystems store between 10 and 24 billion metric tonnes of carbon, in addition every year they add
between 30 to 70 million metric tons to their soils

Coastal plants and trees capture carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.


While a portion of this carbon is released back into the atmosphere as
methane and carbon dioxide, some gets stored in the soil, and a portion is
transported to ocean sediments. These submerged soils and sediments
serve as effective long-term carbon sinks. On land, decomposition happens
right away, releasing carbon dioxide in the process. In flooded areas with low
oxygen levels, decomposition occurs at a slower pace, allowing for greater
carbon retention.

● Coastal blue-carbon ecosystems are gaining attention as a valuable


solution for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide due to their
remarkable carbon sequestration potential relative to their size.
● Seagrass is able to capture and store approximately 220 grams of
carbon per square meter per year from the atmosphere in its soils -
which exceeds the carbon storage rate of tropical rainforest by more
Illustration and information source: www.climate.gov than 3x per square meter, surpasses the rate in temperate forests by
over 7x, and exceeds the storage rate in grasslands by more than 10x.

20
Appendix 2: Global Carbon Storage Potential of Coastal Ecosystems in millions of tonnes of
carbon per year and global locations of key blue-carbon ecosystems

Global Carbon Storage Potential of Coastal Ecosystems

The estimates vary from approximately 0.15 million tonnes per year (lightest
green) in regions like Greenland, west part of South America, and around
Antarctica, to 11 million tonnes per year (dark blue) in areas like Australia,
Indonesia, and the United States.

Illustration source: www.climate.gov

Global Locations

The carbon storage capacity of coastal ecosystems have its own weakness despite the benefits: when these ecosystems are disrupted or drained, they
have the potential to release significant amounts of CO2 back into the atmosphere. However, when protected or restored, they can serve as a valuable
tool for offsetting CO2 emissions, particularly for island nations and developing countries with relatively lower greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally,
these ecosystems offer various other benefits such as wildlife habitat and hurricane protection. Consequently, strategies aimed at safeguarding and
revitalizing coastal blue-carbon ecosystems are expected to play an increasingly important role in international climate policies in the years ahead.

Carbon offsetting is a strategy to mitigate the impact of GHG emissions and reduce carbon footprint

Definition: Carbon Offset


the action of compensating for carbon dioxide emissions arising from industrial or human activity, by participating in programs
or investing in projects designed to make equivalent reductions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Carbon offset projects are vetted and verified to ensure that they are additional, meaning that the emission reductions or
removals achieved would not have occurred without the support of the offset funding. Verification is typically done by
independent third-party organizations to maintain transparency and credibility.

Carbon Offsetting Standards: sets of guidelines and frameworks that establish criteria
for the development, implementation, and verification of carbon offset projects
Carbon Offset Standards purpose is to guarantee the trustworthiness, openness, and ecological soundness of these projects while also
establishing a shared methodology and terminology for measuring, reporting, and verifying the reduction or removal of emissions.

Standards for certifying carbon emissions reduction firms: A voluntary climate change mitigation framework by UN:

● Commonly adapted voluntary offset standards ● Referred to as Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) that

● Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation (REDD+), framework developed under UNFCCC
to address deforestation and degradation.

It is recommended for individuals and organizations to choose projects that comply with acknowledged standards and have been
independently verified by third-party auditors to ensures the reliability and efficacy of the offsetting process while maintaining its integrity.
