Carbon Monitoring Systems Research and Applications
Carbon Monitoring Systems Research and Applications
Session ID#: 117991
Session Description:
Greenhouse gas emission inventories, climate mitigation planning, forest carbon sequestration and Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs, cap-and-trade systems, self-reporting programs, and their associated Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) frameworks depend upon data that are accurate, systematic, practical, and transparent. For carbon, there are multiple MRV frameworks in existence, reflecting a diversity of spatial scales, governing bodies, and relevant policies. Given the scientific challenges, policy importance, and breadth of activities occurring around the world, this session will focus on advances in research and applications, including decision support and policy, that align or address stakeholder needs through the measuring, modeling, and monitoring of strategic carbon pools. This session will also feature a panel of Stakeholders representing Local, State, and National Government Agencies and NGOs.
