What is CO2 and GHG emissions

Integrating Intelligence and Sustainability in Supply Chains
CO2 stands for carbon dioxide. It is a greenhouse gas that is naturally present in the atmosphere. However, human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels have increased CO2 emissions to levels that are not natural. GHG stands for greenhouse gas. It is any gas that traps heat in the atmosphere. The main GHGs are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.

Abstract
The key aspect of the current chapter is related to the sustainability challenges of the supply chain and its associated consideration towards the transformation of operations. The primary motivation for evaluation has been related to the influence of sustainability considerations for supply chain development, aligned issues, and their respective solutions. To highlight the reader's approach for supply chain sustainability, the importance and influences have been discussed regarding waste management and its related influences on the cost and productivity efficiency within the supply chain. The crucial aspects of supply chain sustainability have also enlightened some challenges. The challenges include human resources, management, structure development, and user perception as well. Technological and intelligence based facilities such as IoT, block-chain, and artificial intelligence have an influence on the management of challenges and the developing effective strategies for green supply chain management. The recommendation for production to transportation management has been provided.
