Practical applications of uncertainty analysis for national greenhouse gas inventories∗
International policy-makers and climate researchers use greenhouse gas emissions inventory estimates in a variety of ways. Because of the varied uses of the inventory data, as well as the high uncertainty surrounding some of the source category estimates, considerable effort has been devoted to understanding the causes and magnitude of uncertainty in national emission inventories. In this paper...
متن کاملRelevance of carbon stocks of marine sediments for national greenhouse gas inventories of maritime nations
BACKGROUND Determining national carbon stocks is essential in the framework of ongoing climate change mitigation actions. Presently, assessment of carbon stocks in the context of greenhouse gas (GHG)-reporting on a nation-by-nation basis focuses on the terrestrial realm, i.e., carbon held in living plant biomass and soils, and on potential changes in these stocks in response to anthropogenic ac...
متن کاملManaging Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Airport Inventories: An Overview
For some years now, problems relating to gas emissions that affect climate and result from human activities have assumed a global dimension of large importance. The climate is, indeed, influenced by the concentrations of some pollutants in the atmosphere; these pollutants trap the long wave radiation emitted by the Earth and alter the energy balance, causing an accentuation of the natural green...
متن کاملUnderstanding challenges in municipal greenhouse gas emission inventories
A necessary prerequisite for impactful climate mitigation action is the availability of suitable and reliable baselines of emissions. This is especially true for urban and citylevel actions and strategies that need reliable local data about emissions to prioritize actions and investments to achieve the highest possible impact. We describe the work of the Carbon Track and Trace project (CTT) don...
متن کاملHuman drivers of national greenhouse-gas emissions
Centuries of speculation about the causes of human stress on the environment is now being disciplined with empirical evidence, including analyses of differences in greenhouse-gas emissions across contemporary nation states. The cumulative results can provide useful guidance for both climate projections and for policy design. Growing human population and affluence clearly contribute to enhanced ...
