The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Climate Change Committee Report 2009

Ezzati and Kammen (2001, 2002) present indoor PM concentration measurements also for several types of charcoal stoves. PM concentrations are found to be substantially lower than concentrations from fuel wood stoves. Charcoal is often considered by households as an intermediate fuel on the energy ladder. While it certainly is not considered a clean fuel, it is often a preferred choice in many urban areas whenever available instead of fuel wood, before households can afford LPG or other clean alternatives. In some Sub-Saharan countries the use of charcoal is relatively widespread especially. | The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Climate Change Committee Report 2009 Edited by Larry Band Voit Gilmore Distinguished Professor Department of Geography and Director Institute for the Environment David Salvesen Deputy Director Center for Sustainable Community Design Institute for the Environment INSTITUTE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT ii Cover photos Clockwise from left Hurricane Bonnie over the North Carolina coast photo courtesy NOAA Wildfire blazes in Hyde County North Carolina June 2008 Photo by Chris Curry The Virginian-Pilot A child enjoying the North Carolina coast A nearly dried-up Falls Lake in Durham County North Carolina during the summer of 2007 photo by Kevin Greene . iii Preface This report addresses the significance of climate change to North Carolina. The report was developed by a committee of faculty and staff at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in response to a specific request from the University of North Carolina General Administration UNC-GA and the North Carolina State Senate. The request was transmitted to the Institute for the Environment IE by Provost Bernadette Gray-Little as received from UNC-GA and was followed up for clarification with UNC-GA and Legislative personnel. Each campus was asked to produce a report on global warming impacts on North Carolina independently without inter-campus collaboration. In this report we emphasize the areas of research strength at Carolina without extensively addressing areas that are better suited to other campuses. As an example agricultural impacts are minimally discussed assuming North Carolina State University will provide a more extensive treatment. The report includes a brief review of climate change science an assessment of climate change trends and likely impacts on North Carolina as well as the potential to mitigate and adapt to those impacts. Given the short time frame to prepare the report August November we were not asked to conduct any new research but instead to .
