Abstract :
Carbon dioxide emissions arising from anthropogenic activities land, water and atmosphere are decisive factors in global carbon budget. Various carbon emission sources like fossil fuel, oceans, terrestrial activities, land-use changes are resulting imbalance in global carbon budget. The accounting of carbon source and sink reported that anthropogenic disturbances are the main causes of impairment in natural carbon cycle. The increasing industrialization activities are causing a decisive changes in greenhouse gases, most important being the carbon which is a matter of serious concern. At present the Paris agreement to limit 1.50c global temperature remains a big challenge in front of policy makers. Various forest models reveals that global wilderness are decreasing at an alarming rate and special emphasis should be given on carbon regeneration and harvesting. Although International efforts are on to mitigate carbon imbalance through various accords, conventions, protocols but in the present scenario there is a need for a concrete action on those entities that are mainly responsible for carbon emission and impairment of Global carbon stocks. This article overview the historical events of global carbon emission, important causes of reduction in carbon stocks, assessment of global carbon budget models along with their potentiality, necessity and amendments. In conclusion several ‘green strategies’ like afforestation, wasteland restoration, agroforestry, organic farming, ex-situ conservation altogether play a significant role in regulating carbon cycle and environment sustainability.
