    STAT101, Project_1 climate change Fall 2023

    Name: ID: Section:

    Write 5 to 20 pages research in word document to answer the next questions,


    and write the references you used.

    1-What is the greenhouse effect and how it affects climate change?


    What are its indicators?

    2-Discuss the role of developed and developing countries in facing the


    problems of climate change.
    Following are the information which developed and developing countries face in climate change. I can
    highlight general principles and information based on common knowledge up to September 2021.
    Role of Developing Countries:
    1. Current Emissions
    Developing countries, primarily in the Global South, are now major contributors to greenhouse gas
    emissions due to rapid industrialization and population growth. They must take steps to mitigate
    emissions while pursuing economic growth.
    2. Mitigation Efforts
    Developing countries are urged to adopt sustainable development practices and implement mitigation
    strategies to reduce emissions. These efforts can be supported through international partnerships and
    funding.
    3. Adaptation Needs
    Developing countries are often more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to limited
    resources and infrastructure. They must prioritize adaptation measures to enhance resilience.
    4. Sustainable Development
    Developing countries face the challenge of balancing economic development with environmental
    sustainability. They must strive to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while mitigating
    climate change.
    5. Global Cooperation
    Both developed and developing countries must cooperate to address climate change effectively.
    International agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, provide a framework for such cooperation.
    6. Accountability
    Transparency, monitoring, and reporting are essential for holding countries accountable for their climate
    actions and commitments.
    Role of Developed Countries

    1. Historical Responsibility
    Developed countries, primarily in the Global North, have historically been the largest contributors to
    greenhouse gas emissions due to industrialization. They bear a significant responsibility for the current
    state of climate change.
    2. Emission Reduction
    Developed countries are expected to take the lead in reducing emissions through policies, regulations,
    and investments in clean and renewable energy sources. They often have more resources to implement
    emission reduction strategies.
    3. Financial Support
    Developed countries are responsible for providing financial support to developing nations to aid in
    mitigation and adaptation efforts. This support may come in the form of climate finance, technology
    transfer, and capacity-building.
    4. Technology Sharing
    Developed countries are encouraged to share green technologies and best practices with developing
    countries to accelerate their transition to cleaner energy and sustainable development.
    References for further information and research
    1. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports.

    2. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) documents and


    reports.

    3. Academic research papers and publications on climate change and international


    cooperation.

    4. Reports from organizations like the World Bank and the International Energy Agency
    (IEA) on climate-related topics.

    3-Obtain data on Total CO2 emissions, and Per capita CO2 emissions in the
    gulf countries
    Qatar has the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions worldwide, at 35.6
    metric tons per person. Many countries in the Middle East had high levels
    emissions. Some of the Middle East’s largest oil producing countries, including
    Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia are among the world’s largest
    carbon dioxide (CO₂) emitters per capita. Bahrain is a petroleum-producing
    country, with fossil fuel comprising the country’s main energy source, resulting in
    an economy with relatively high carbon intensity. So maximum emission of CO2 is
    in Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia Oman and Bahrain has highest emission of
    carbon dioxide in gulf countries. But as we deal with per capita, the sequence will
    be Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. They emit it is all due
    to their oil, gas and other type of energy industries. There is an oil, gas and other
    type of industries which uses oil resources in these countries.
    4-Rank the gulf countries based on total CO2 emissions and per capita
    CO2 emissions, and fill in the following table, comment on the ranking.

    Per Capita CO2


    Total CO2 Emissions
    Emissions
    Rank Amount Country Rank Amount Country
    Saudi
    1 586.08 1 43.9 Qatar
    Arabia
    2 193.5 UAE 2 25.8 Kuwait
    3 98.083 Kuwait 3 23.5 Bahrain
    4 97.5 Qatar 4 22.9 UAE
    Saudi
    5 87.84 Oman 5 19.4
    Arabia
    6 24.46 Bahrain 6 15.2 Oman
