This report describes the current state of agriculture in the UK with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and estimate the mitigation potential of those options.

This report describes the current state of agriculture in South Africa with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and estimate the mitigation potential of those options.

This report describes the current state of agriculture in New Zealand with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and estimate the mitigation potential of those options.

This report describes the current state of agriculture in Indonesia with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and estimate the mitigation potential of those options.

This report describes the current state of agriculture in Egypt with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and estimate the mitigation potential of those options.

This report describes the current state of agriculture in China, focusing on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the relevant climate and other socioeconomic policies that affect its development. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and review mitigation potential of those options.

This report describes the current state of agriculture in Brazil with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and avoid emissions through deforestation, and estimate the mitigation potential of those options.

This report describes the current state of agriculture in Australia with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and estimate the mitigation potential of those options.

This report describes the current state of agriculture in Argentina with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and estimate the mitigation potential of those options.

Polyquaternium (PQ) compounds are water soluble polymers which are widely used in high volumes, e.g. in body care products. They are assumed to be persistent in the environment and to be toxic to aquatic organisms. Information on their occurrence and environmental concentrations is essential to assess the risk these chemicals may pose and determine if regulatory action is required.

Die gemeinsame Betrachtung von Klima- und Biodiversitätsschutz, der natürliche Klimaschutz, erzeugt Synergien. Ziel des Aktionsprogramms Natürlicher Klimaschutz (ANK) ist es, Ökosysteme und deren Klimaschutzleistung zu verbessern.

Aktuelle sektorübergreifende Szenarienarbeiten des Umweltbundesamtes zeigen, dass mit einer ambitionierten Minderungsstrategie Treibhausgasneutralität bis 2045 theoretisch noch ohne die Technologie der Kohlenstoffabscheidung und -einlagerung möglich ist.
