Greenhouse gas mitigation: a prospect for establishing carbon offset industry in Papua New Guinea

Abstract

One of the most prevailing global concerns to which we are a part is climate change and its effects on global, regional and local weather patterns, sea level rise and how these changes will affect our environment and socio-economic survival in the future. This global climate change has been going on over centuries, but became more so after the industrial revolution,in particular through the burning of fossilized fuels such as oil, gas and coal causing what is known as the greenhouse effect.
