Air Quality Index (AQI)
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a measure of the concentration of harmful pollutants in the air, typically expressed as a numerical value on a scale from 0 to 500.

Base year
A base year in carbon accounting is the year that is used as a reference point for measuring and tracking carbon emissions. It is the starting point for calculating emissions reductions and carbon footprint.

Biomass / Biogas
Biomass, or biogas, is a type of renewable energy that is derived from organic materials such as agricultural waste, wood, and manure used to generate electricity or heat through combustion.

Biodiversity footprint
The ecological impact of human activities on biodiversity, reflecting the extent of species loss, habitat degradation, and ecosystem disruption linked to various human actions.

Blue Carbon
The carbon stored in marine and coastal ecosystems like tidal marshes, seagrass beds & mangroove forests. Blue carbon can be reduced by restoring & protecting coastal ecosystem, reducing pollution & coastal,etc development.

Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR)
BRSR is the first framework in India for environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting which is interoperable with other internationally accepted reporting frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

Cap & Trade
A market based approach of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions by setting a 'cap' or limit on total amount of emissions by a country. This cap is reduced overtime so as to reduce the GHG emissions. If a company wants to emit more than its allotted amount, it must buy additional allowances or permits from another company that has not used all of its allotted amount.

Carbon accounting
Calculating the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases that are emitted from the organisation's activities, such as energy use, transportation, and waste management.

Carbon budget
Carbon budget is the total amount of carbon that can be emitted into the atmosphere within a specified time period while still maintaining a stable climate and preventing dangerous levels of global warming.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology that involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants, industrial processes, and other sources, and storing it in underground geological formations or other secure locations.

Carbon credits
These are the permits that allows a company to emit certain amount of carbon dioxide or GHGs into the atmosphere. 1 carbon credit = 1 ton CO2

Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)
Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) is a measure of the global warming potential of different greenhouse gases. It is calculated by converting the emissions of each gas into an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide, based on the gas's global warming potential.
