Description

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 resulted from bribery of foreign government officials by Lockheed Aircraft Company. This Act is designed to prevent the bribing of foreign officials in order to obtain foreign government contracts. Payments to foreign officials for “facilitation,” often referred to as grease payments, are not prohibited under FCPA so long as these payments are made only to get officials to do their normal jobs that they might not do, or would do slowly, without some payment. These payments can be made only to secure a permit or license; obtain paper processing; secure police protection; provide phone, water, or power supply; or similar such actions.

FAQ

UNFCCC Nav In ance with Articles 4 and 12 of the Climate Change Convention and the relevant decisions of the Conference of the Parties, countries that are Parties to the Convention submit national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories to the Climate Change secretariat.

The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France, on 12 December 2015. It entered into force on 4 November 2016.

In short, the Kyoto Protocol operationalizes the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by committing industrialized countries and economies in transition to limit and reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in ance with agreed individual targets.

Under California's Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (MRR), industrial sources, fuel suppliers, and electricity importers must report their annual GHG emissions to the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

Facilities calculate their emissions using methodologies that are specified at 40 CFR Part 98, and they report their data to EPA using the electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT). Annual reports covering emissions from the prior calendar year are due by March 31st of each year.

Once you have calculated your greenhouse gas emissions you may wish to report this information. You are not required to legally publish this information, but you may wish to publicly disclose this information in your advertising material, on your website, or in your corporate responsibility report if you produce one.

How to Calculate Emissions Step 1: Calculate the emissions from each GHG. Activity x Emission Factor (Tons GHG/activity unit) = Emissions (Tons GHG) ... Step 2: Calculate CO2 equivalents (CO2e) for each GHG and sum overall emissions. Emissions x Global Warming Potential (GWP) = Total Emissions (Tons CO2e)

The 2020 GHG emissions limit is 431 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO2e). In 2016, Senate Bill 32, California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006: Emissions Limit (SB 32) further required California to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 40% below the 1990 level by 2030.

In short, the Kyoto Protocol operationalizes the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by committing industrialized countries and economies in transition to limit and reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in ance with agreed individual targets.

What is the Paris Agreement? The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France, on 12 December 2015. It entered into force on 4 November 2016.

More info

The City of Los Angeles has issued guidance promoting sustainable development to reduce GHG emissions citywide in the form of a Climate Action Plan (CAP). The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change.This technical report examines the direct and indirect impacts of the Proposed Project at 20401 Ventura. The legal framework for GHG emission reduction in California has come about through Executive Orders, legislation, and regulation. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted on 11 December 1997. Owing to a complex ratification process, it entered into force on 16 February 2005. Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. This section provides information on emissions and removals of the main greenhouse gases. Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called GHGs. The major concern with GHGs is that increases in their concentrations are causing global climate change.
