26 This was used to estimate the corresponding greenhouse gas emissions for England in megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2e) based on the current carbon intensity 27 and under decarbonisation assumptions consistent with the UK's 2020 and 2030 climate change mitigation targets.
In 2015, India consumed 990 megatonnes of coal, second highest in the world after China.
"I know of no serious scientist who would advocate introducing 100 megatonnes of sulphur dioxide in a four degree warmer world," said Dr Matt Watson, from the University of Bristol, who was previously involved in a British project to test this concept.
Calculated on a similar basis to the UK case study, the avoided burden of these outcomes was estimated to be 12 500 fewer DALYs and a saving of 0·1 0·2 megatonnes CO2-equivalent per million population in 1 year, mostly in short-lived greenhouse pollutants.
The measures also have the potential to save 41 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions in 2020, according to the report.
The 95% prediction intervals for landscape level estimates of total AGB stocks suggest that between 5.4 and 7.2 megatonnes of AGB is currently held in Kenyan mangrove forests.
For a strategy of combined fabric, ventilation, fuel switching, and behavioural changes, we estimated 850 fewer disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and a saving of 0·6 megatonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), per million population in 1 year (on the basis of calculations comparing the health of the 2010 population with and without the specified outcome measures).
With the release of the aforementioned strategy, which was endorsed by everyone from Greenpeace to Suncor, Alberta pledged to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2030, cap oilsands emissions at 100 megatonnes per year, slash methane emissions and boost investments in renewable energy sources.
In 2010, Unicef certified facilities in nine developing countries, each capable of producing 40,000 megatonnes of RUTFs.
