Bakgrunn

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas in terms of human emissions and influence on climate change, but it is not the only greenhouse gas. In this webinar, we will look at the importance of two other greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). How have their levels in the atmosphere changed in the past decades, particularly 2020 and 2021, and what is causing this development?

 

Moreover, we will look at the climate impact of these changes and what needs to be done to mitigate them.
