International Workshop Series on Uncertainty in Greenhouse Gas Inventories

The assessment of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted to and removed from the atmosphere is high on both political and scientific agendas internationally. Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), parties to the Convention have published national GHG inventories, or national communications to the UNFCCC, since the early 1990s. Methods for the proper accounting of human-induced GHG sources and sinks at national scales have been stipulated by institutions such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and many countries have been producing national assessments for well over a decade. As increasing international concern and cooperation aim at policy-oriented solutions to the climate change problem, however, a number of issues have begun to arise regarding verification and compliance under both proposed and legislated schemes meant to reduce the human-induced global climate impact. more
