Atmospheric CO2 and CH4 Budgets to Support the Global Stocktake
Start Date:
May 11, 2022
End Date:
May 25, 2022
Description:
This 3-part training will introduce bottom-up and top-down methods for tracking emissions and removals of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from the atmosphere, explore how to combine this information to produce a more complete and transparent global stocktake, and support efforts to reduce net emissions and mitigate their impact on the climate.
Targeted Audience:
This webinar series is intended for stakeholders at local, regional, and national levels who are interested in managing greenhouse gas emissions to meet the climate change mitigation goals of the Paris Agreement, national inventory developers, and researchers who are interested in developing top-down atmospheric greenhouse gas budgets and working with the inventory development and assessment communities to support the global stocktake process.
Expected Outcomes:
By the end of this training attendees will be able to:
• Recognize the need to monitor CO2, CH4, and other greenhouse gases to support efforts to reduce net emissions and mitigate their impact on climate
• Describe how top-down CO2 and CH4 budgets can be derived using atmospheric measurements and inverse models
• Relate how the products and methods described can be combined with bottom-up inventories to identify opportunities for improving GHG inventories to support future GSTs
