Climate system GHG emissions & impacts Main air emissions Nitrogen Oxides: NOx Sulphur Oxides: SOx
Particulate Matters or organic aerosols Oxides of carbon: CO and CO2 Carbon compounds - such as CH4 and VOC Ozone (O3) Fluorocarbon and Chlorofluorocarbon compounds -such as CFC, PFC, SF6 and HFC Halogen compounds -such as chlorides, fluorides and bromides Etc. TO INSTRUCTOR: Introduce the definition of air pollution Highlight that many pollutants are emitted Explain that CO2 is not a direct pollutant but have indirect impacts through the modification of the atmosphere composition and properties Climate system dynamics
Earth as a whole includes: The atmosphere (i.e. gases); The hydrosphere (i.e. the waters); The lithosphere (i.e. solid layer of earth); The cryosphere (i.e. frozen waters); and the Biosphere (i.e. the living). All the above are changing with time, influenced by a variety of things including human activities. TO INSTRUCTOR: Describe the elements impacting and influencing in the climate conditions Explain that these elements are in permanent interaction and influence each other Explain that the modification of some parameter in this complex interactive network modifies the whole system and impact the climate as a whole Elaborate on terms: Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere, Cryosphere and Biosphere Highlight that everythiong is dynamic and subject to change. Schematic view of the components of the climate system, their processes and interactions. IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2007 (AR4) WG I GHG emissions Carbon dioxide: Most of the atmospheric GHG emissions are CO2. Other gases to consider? Methane: Agriculture and livestock, mining, transportation, and use of certain fossil fuels, sewage, and decomposing garbage in landfills. Nitrous oxide:The industrial agriculture and use of fertilizers accounts for the majority of the Nitrous oxide release. Halocarbon:They are non-natural but manufactured compounds. Extensively used as refrigerants. Other gases like ozone or water vapour have GHG properties. TO INSTRUCTOR: Highlight that the most important gas in terms of global warming is CO2 because of its quantity released and its lifetime impact Remind that CO2 is a permanent outcome of combustion of Hydrocarbons. Ask participants: can you identify other GHG emissions ? Man-made GHG emissions
Kyoto Protocol has identified six main gases as: Carbon dioxide (CO2); Methane (CH4); Nitrous oxide (N2O); Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); Perfluorocarbons (PFCs); Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). Kyoto Protocol has identified six main gases as: Carbon dioxide (CO2); Methane (CH4); Nitrous oxide (N2O); Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs); Perfluorocarbons (PFCs); Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).

Rational Various steps Triggers for action Local pollution
Visibility of the consequences of air pollution Global disturbance Visibility of climate change GLOBAL ISSUES NEED GLOBAL APPROACHES CLIMATE CHANGE IS A TRULY GLOBAL ISSUE TO INSTRUCTOR: The action needs triggers. The main driver of pollution-related regulations is visibility. Because air emission are invisible, only its consequences are visible (health issues / climate alteration) Highlight that when facing a global scale issue, the approach must be on the same level. Justify the international involvement on this issue in order to coordinate the national actions. Organizations and instruments
United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Kyoto Protocol Vienna Convention& Montreal Protocol on Ozone-Depleting Substances IMO for international shipping Etc. TO INSTRUCTOR: Highlight that the several UN organizations are working on the topic. United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP)
UNEP established in 1972 Mandate is to coordinate the global response to environmental challenges. In the field of climate change, the UNEP supports countries in the following areas: Adapting to climate change Mitigating climate change Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation Enhancing knowledge and communication The creation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP): Mandate is to coordinate the global response to established and emerging environmental challenges. The need for such an organization is clearly expressed in the UN Resolution 2997. The mission statement of UNEP is: To provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations. In the field of climate change, the UNEP supports countries in the following areas: Adapting to climate change: The purpose is to reduce vulnerability and improve resilience. Mitigating climate change: The UNEP supports technologies, policies and investments. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation: The purpose is to valorize forests and sinks as well as promoting sustainable management of forest ecosystems. Enhancing knowledge and communication: The UNEP support education and awareness programs. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
Created under the auspices of the UNEP and the WMO (World Metrological Organization) The IPCC was endorsed by the UN in 1988. Its mission is to: Review the state of knowledge of the science of climate change; Carry out studies on the social and economic impact of climate change, including global warming; Propose possible response strategies to delay, limit or mitigate the impact of adverse climate change; Acts as a major knowledge-organisation on climate change. Created under the auspices of the UNEP and the WMO (World Metrological Organization) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was endorsed by the UN in 1988. The objective was to build an internationally recognized structure capable to regularly monitor and diagnose the evolution on the climate system and its consequences. Its mission is to review [UN, 1988]: The state of knowledge of the science of climate and climatic change; Programmes and studies on the social and economic impact of climate change, including global warming; Possible response strategies to delay, limit or mitigate the impact of adverse climate change; Acts as a major knowledge-organisation on climate change. IPCC assessment reports
IPCC have produced 5 major assessment reports so far. The IPCCs AR (Fifth Assessment Report) was released in four principal sections: Contribution of W/G I (WGI):The Physical Science Basis Contribution of W/G II (WGII): Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability Contribution of W/G III (WGIII): Mitigation of Climate Change Contribution of W/G I, II, and III: The Synthesis Report IPCC have produced 5 major assessment reports so far. The IPCCs AR (Fifth Assessment Report) was released in four principal sections:: Contribution of W/G I (WGI): The Physical Science Basis Contribution of W/G II (WGII): Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability Contribution of W/G III (WGIII): Mitigation of Climate Change Contribution of W/G I, II, and III: The Synthesis Report (SYR) The AR puts greater emphasis on assessing the socio-economic aspects of climate change and its implications for sustainable development. Some new features of AR5 as a whole include: A new set of scenarios for analysis across Working Group contributions; Dedicated chapters on sea level change, carbon cycle and climate phenomena; Much greater regional detail on climate change impacts, adaptation and mitigation interactions; inter- and intra-regional impacts; and a multi-sector synthesis; Risk management and the framing of a response (both adaptation and mitigation), including scientific information relevant to Article 2 of the UNFCCC referring to the "...stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system". United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
The UNFCCC is a framework Convention which aims to limit the level of climate change. It focuses on promoting cooperation on understanding and reducing the effects of human activities on climate It adopts legislative or administrative measures against activities likely to have adverse effects. This instrument does not set precise objectives/targets. For target and limits, Kyoto Protocol later on was adopted. The UNFCCC is a framework Convention which focuses on promoting cooperation by means of systematic observations, research and information exchange on the effects of human activities on climate, and adopting legislative or administrative measures against activities likely to have adverse effects. This instrument does not set precise objectives. It is the reason why such a framework Convention is followed by Protocols detailing obligations such as Kyoto Protocol. UNFCCC requirements As indicated, despite UNFCCC declarations, it does not set quantitative targets. In requires that all Parties: Develop and report national inventory of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks. Commit to develop measures related to GHG control. Promote technology transfer and the sustainable management, conservation, etc. . on climate change Consider climate change in social, economic and environmental policy development. Cooperate in sciences, techniques and education as well as exchange of information related to climate change. Promote public awareness and education. Despite these declarations, the commitment does not require imperative GHG release reduction. The requirements imposed on States are limited to commitments (Article 4) and communication regarding implementation (Article 12). In short, all Parties have to: Develop and communicate to the Conference of Parties a national inventory of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks. Commit to develop and communicate the measures related to GHG control. Promote technology transfer and the sustainable management, conservation, and enhancement of greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs (such as forests and oceans). (UNEP/UNFCCC, 2002) Consider climate change in social, economic and environmental policy development. Cooperate in sciences, techniques and education as well as exchange information related to climate change. Promote public awareness and education. Kyoto Protocol The Kyoto Protocol (1997) concluded a first part of efforts to create stronger commitment for the developed countries. Annex I countries accepted binding reduction targets. Non-Annex I countries accepted to support the process within CBDR (Common But Differentiated Responsibility) framework. The GHG emissions are categorised as six main items including CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6. To reach their targets, Annex I countries can reduce their emission and/or offset their emissions via: Joint Implementation Clean Development Emission Trading The Kyoto Protocol (1997) concluded a first part of efforts to create stronger commitment for the developed countries. Annex I countries accepted to reduction targets. Non-Annex I countries accepted to support the process within CBDR (Common But Differentiated Responsibility). The Kyoto Protocol set binding emission targets for the developed countries in Annex I. The GHG emissions are categorised as six main item including CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6. To reach their targets, countries can reduce their emission and/or offset their emissions via: Joint Implementation Clean Development Emission Trading Kyoto Protocol commitments were for up to 2012 and now negotiations are underway for post-Kyotol arrangement. Post Kyoto Kyoto Protocol commitments are extended to 2020.
Currently, climate change negotiations are underway for post-Kyoto arrangement. Paris (December 2015) may make new binding decisions for post-Kyoto. To Instructors: Talk about climate change negotiations If any decisions were made in Paris, update this page and explain. Montreal Protocol Prevention of Ozone Depletion
The Montreal Protocol is designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of ODS (Ozone Depleting Substances). Entered into force 1 January 1989 Gases considered in terms of Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): The ODP is based on the amount of chlorine which is released by the refrigerant as it degrades. Reference ODP is for CFC R11 (also known as Freon-11, CFC-11, or R-11) which is taken as 1. Most of refrigerants are strong GHG emissions and thus limitation of ODS will help climate change as well.

MARPOL Annex VI & its chapter 4 Climate change impact on oceans
Oceans are a major sink for air emissions. Ocean water properties changes as a result. Ecosystems and marine habitats are disturbed by the modification of the ocean properties. Oceans acidification: Due to absorption of CO2 and acid rains. A lower pH by 0.1 units already in place. The high speed acidification may impair the ability of many organisms to cope with changing water properties. Ocean dilatation (sea-level rise) endanger the coastal ecosystems and accelerates erosion. Oceans a major sink for air emissions. Ocean water properties changes as a result.

Shipping was estimated to have emitted 3.3% of the global emissions during 2007. International shipping was estimated to have emitted 870 million tonnes, or about 2.7% of the global emissions in 2007. Carbon dioxide is the most important GHG emitted by ships. A significant potential for reduction of GHG emissions through technical and operational measures had been identified. Energy efficiency of ships could potentially be 25% to 75% below the current levels. A number of policies to reduce GHG emissions from ships were conceivable. Shipping had been shown, in general, to be an energy-efficient means of transportation compared to other modes. Shipping was estimated to have emitted million tonnes of CO2 in 2007, which corresponded to 3.3% of the global emissions during 2007. International shipping was estimated to have emitted 870 million tonnes, or about 2.7% of the global emissions of CO2in 2007. Exhaust gases were the primary source of air emissions and carbon dioxide was the most important GHG emitted by ships.

Various scenarios modelled. An average increase of 50% to up to 250% of shipping emissions by 2050. This study plus a number of other past studies all point to the fact that future shipping GHG emissions will increase. Regulators aim to stabilise or reduce future emissions. Activities leading to Chapter 4 of MARPOL Annex VI
To Instructors: Describe the activities. Stay on this diagram longer to trainee to appreciate the amount of background work. Ask the trainee to read details of MEPC decisions from course-book Developed current regulatory framework
To Instructor Explain in general. Will be fully described under Module 2 IMO Further measures All studies shows that absolute level of shipping emissions and its global share will increase despite the current agreed measures. Thus further measures for energy efficiency are being debated. Currently, it is on a data collection system that primarily aim to regulate the ships fuel consumption measurement. Since April 2014, IMO reached preliminary conclusions on a general description of such a global data collection system. The draft developed data collection system identifies three core elements including: data collection by ships; flag State functions in relation to data collected including verification; and establishment of a centralized database by the IMO.
