Reducing petroleum fuel emissions to the atmosphere
- Reducing adverse atmospheric effects of fossil energy use
Description
Reducing petroleum fuel emissions to the atmosphere involves implementing measures to limit the release of greenhouse gases and pollutants from the combustion of petroleum-based fuels. Key actions include promoting cleaner fuel alternatives, improving fuel efficiency in vehicles and industry, enforcing stricter emission standards, and encouraging public transportation and renewable energy adoption. These strategies directly address air pollution, climate change, and public health risks by minimizing the environmental impact of petroleum fuel use.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
