Q. ‘GWP star’, which was seen in the news, is associated with which sector?
Answer:
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Notes: Certain industrialized meat and dairy corporations have been advocating for a new metric known as GWP* (pronounced as GWP star) to measure methane emissions.
It is said to provide a more precise assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, a recent report has uncovered that by following this new approach, these companies can potentially manipulate their overall GHG emissions, allowing them to evade accountability and make false claims of climate neutrality.
