This report shows the progressive decrease in the balance between emissions and removals and where the decrease is 32.5 percent since 1994, and 17.1 percent since 2013. Almost every country on Earth has pledged to slash carbon emissions to slow the gears of global warming.
#CARBON NEUTRAL COUNTRY UPDATE#
The Panamanian expert, part of the national greenhouse gas Inventories coordination team, said nevertheless that her country has an enormous responsibility, and must continue “carrying out the progressive reduction of the balance between emissions and removals.”įor this reason, and despite the Covid-19 pandemic, in the first quarter of this year, her country presented its second Biennial Update Report on the commitments made in the Paris Agreement against climate change. This is because 65.4 percent of Panama’s territory comprises forests and other wooded lands, 32.5 percent belongs to other lands and 2.1 percent to inland water bodies according to a 2019 report by the Environmental Information Directorate of the country’s Environment Ministry. Costa Rica continues to reap the carbon benefits of decades-old hydroelectricity and forestry policies, but it has so far made little progress on limiting the climate impact of its transport. Melani Acosta, climate change mitigation analyst at Panama’s Environment Ministry said “Panamanian forest lands capture more carbon than total gas emissions, which defines us as a carbon negative country.” Madrid, Aug 4 (EFE).- Only three countries in the world, Panama, Bhutan and Suriname, are classified as “carbon negative,” meaning they absorb more greenhouse gases than they emit from human activities.
