Abstract This study is a novel attempt to analyze the patterns and trends of urbanization in medium to large cities in Central Asia. It encompasses a broad range of parameters, and employs an evidence-based approach to outlining strategic directions and actions for fostering green and resilient urban development. The Central
To sequester carbon, a charge thousands of times more powerful than anything humanity has ever exploded would be needed. It has been proposed to detonate a nuclear device with a capacity of 81 gigatons (!) in the depths of the ocean. This should crush basalt rocks, after which they will
Carbon Limits, in collaboration with UNEP’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO), has successfully conducted a series of capacity building activities aimed at managing methane emissions in the oil and gas sector of Central Asia. Training Overview: A total of eight specialized training sessions were delivered, targeting national and private oil and gas operators as
