| Cooperation Agreement for the protection of the coasts and waters of the north-east Atlantic against pollution | Sadarbības nolīgums Atlantijas okeāna ziemeļaustrumu piekrastes un ūdeņu aizsardzībai no piesārņojuma | |
| copper (A chemical element; one of the most important nonferrous metals; a ductile and malleable metal found in various ores and used in industry, engineering, and the arts in both pure and alloyed form) | varš | |
| coppice (A growth of small trees that are repeatedly cut down at short intervals; the new shoots are produced by the old stumps) | jaunaudze | |
| coppice with standards (A traditional system of woodland management whereby timber trees are grown above a coppiced woodland. It is used in particular as a method of exploiting oakwoods, in which all the trees except a rather open network of tall, well-formed oaks - the standards at about fifty per hectare - are felled, leaving plenty of space for hazels and other underwood to grow and be coppiced at intervals of ten to fifteen years) | jaunaudze ar standartkokiem | |
| coral (The skeleton of certain solitary and colonial anthozoan coelenterates; composed chiefly of calcium carbonate) | korallis | |
| coral reef (Coral reefs have been built up from the skeletons of reef-building coral a small primitive marine animal, and other marine animals and algae over thousands of years. They occur in clear, shallow and sunlit seas. Coral reefs are one of the most productive and diverse ecosystems and are estimated to yield about 12% of the world's fish catch. They are very vulnerable to any change in their environment, especially pollution, because it makes the water opaque. They must have light in order that photosyntesis by the algae can take place. Like trees, corals reflect the environmental conditions in which they grow, indicating marine pollution, sea-surface temperature and other aquatic conditions) | koraļļu rifs | |
| coral reef lagoon (A coastal stretch of shallow saltwater virtually cut off from the open sea by a coral reef) | koraļļu rifa lagūna | |
| core meltdown (An accidental overheating of the part of the nuclear reactor where fission takes place, causing fuel elements and other parts of the reactor to melt, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences in which dangerous levels of radioactive materials would be released into the environment) | serdes izkušana | |
| cork (The thick light porous outer bark of the cork oak, used widely as an insulator and for stoppers for bottles, casks, etc.) | korķis | |
| corridor (A physical linkage, connecting two areas of habitat and differing from the habitat on either side. Corridors are used by organisms to move around without having to leave the preferred habitat) | koridors | |
| corrosion (A process in which a solid, especially a metal, is eaten away and changed by a chemical action) | korozija | |
| corrosion inhibitor (A chemical agent which slows down or prohibits a corrosion reaction) | korozijas palēninātājs | |
| cosmetic industry (Industry for the production of substances for improving the appearance of the body) | kosmētikas rūpniecība | |
| cosmic radiation (Radiations consisting of atomic nuclei, especially protons, of very high energy that reach the earth from outer space. Some cosmic radiations are very energetic and are able to penetrate a mile or more into the Earth) | kosmiskā radiācija | |
| cost (In economics, the value of the factors of production used by a firm in producing or distributing goods and services or engaging in both activities) | izdevumi | |
| cost of pollution abatement measures | piesārņojuma mazināšanas izmaksas | |
| cost recovery basis (A standard used to provide reimbursement to individuals or organizations for any incurred expense or provided service) | izmaksu atgūšanas pamats | |
| cost reduction (The lessening or lowering in the amount of money incurred or asked for in the exchange of goods and services) | izmaksu samazināšana | |
| cost-benefit (Relation between costs of a certain activity and its benefits to a certain community) | izmaksas un ieguvumi | |
| cost-benefit analysis (The attempt to assess, compare and frequently justify the total price or loss represented by a certain activity or expenditure with the advantage or service it provides) | izmaksu un ieguvumu analīze |
