Abstract

The emission control of non-CO2 greenhouse gases is conducive to slowing down global warming. It is also helpful in controlling environmental pollution, and beneficial in improving the local health benefits. This paper aims at six kinds of non-CO2 greenhouse gases under United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, namely methane (CH4 ), nitrous oxide (N2 O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6 ), and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3 ). This paper analyzes the emission status and trend of China’s non-CO2 greenhouse gases, and provides some technology selections for non-CO2 emission reduction. Through strategic policy arrangements and appropriate technology choices, China can gain environmental protection and greenhouse gas control. Zhou, Y.-M., and Y.-S.

Abstract

In 2012 Spanish libraries were still affected by the economic crisis, as indicated by the negative trends observed in published statistical data. Simultaneously, the data show that libraries are one of the most valued public services. Although budget constraints do not allow to take advantage of new media and technology tools, such as e-book or mobile applications, there is evidence of considerable effort by Spanish library professionals to make libraries places to meet, read, inform and learn, which increased the activities offered and the number of people visiting the library.
