Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) are negotiable certificates issued by depositary banks which represent ownership of a given number of a company’s shares which can be listed and traded independently from the underlying shares.  
(GWP).


GDRs are typically used by companies from emerging markets and marketed to professional investors only.
GWP is a relative measure of the amount by which a greenhouse gas emission would warm the earth.


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


Also spelled Global ''Depositary'' Receipt.
By definition, the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1.
 
 
Using this measure, the GWPs of other greenhouse gases are quantified on this scale.

Environmental policy - greenhouse gases - measurement - reporting.

(GWP).

GWP is a relative measure of the amount by which a greenhouse gas emission would warm the earth.

The reference is carbon dioxide, CO2.

By definition, the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1.


Using this measure, the GWPs of other greenhouse gases are quantified on this scale.
