African greenhouse gas emission inventories and mitigation options : forestry, land-use change, and agriculture /

Show other versions (1)

As atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases continue to increase, so does the potential for atmospheric warming and associated climate change. In an effort to address the threat of global climate change, 155 countries signed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change at the Earth Summit in...
