(GWP).
Owned or controlled by the state.


GWP is a relative measure of the amount by which a greenhouse gas emission would warm the earth.
For example, the ''public sector'' of the economy.


The reference is carbon dioxide, CO<sub>2</sub>.


By definition, the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1.
2. ''Ownership - control.''


Potentially available for part-ownership - or control - by any member of the public.


Using this measure, the GWPs of other greenhouse gases are quantified on this scale.
For example, a ''public company.''
 
 
3.  ''Services - information - offerings.''
 
Relating to a service, information or offering available to the public generally.
 
For example, a ''public bond.''
 
 
4.  ''Law.''
 
Relating to states, and relations between states, rather than individuals, companies or other non-governmental entities.
 
For example, ''public international law'' (contrasted with ''private international law'').
 
 
5.  ''Legislation.''
 
Originating with the government, rather than an individual member of the legislature.
 
For example, a ''Public Bill'' (contrasted with a ''Private Bill'').
