Verifying Greenhouse Gas Emissions by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate,Committee on Methods for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pdf
The world's nations are moving toward agreements that will bind us together in an effort to limit future greenhouse gas emissions. With such agreements will come the need for all nations to make accurate estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and to monitor changes over time. In this context, the present book focuses on the greenhouse gases that result from human activities, have long lifetimes in the atmosphere and thus will change global climate for decades to millennia or more, and are currently included in international agreements. The book devotes considerably more space to CO2 than to the other gases because CO2 is the largest single contributor to global climate change and is thus the focus of many mitigation efforts. Only data in the public domain were considered because public access and transparency are necessary to build trust in a climate treaty. The book concludes that each country could estimate fossil-fuel CO2 emissions accurately enough to support monitoring of a climate treaty. However, current methods are not sufficiently accurate to check these self-reported estimates against independent data or to estimate other greenhouse gas emissions. Strategic investments would, within 5 years, improve reporting of emissions by countries and yield a useful capability for independent verification of greenhouse gas emissions reported by countries.
Accounting for Climate Change by Daniel Lieberman,Matthias Jonas,Zbigniew Nahorski,Sten Nilsson Pdf
Uncertainty analysis is a key component of national greenhouse gases inventory analyses. The issues that are raised by the authors in this volume, and the role that uncertainty analysis plays in many of their arguments and/or proposals, highlight the importance of such efforts. Coverage includes: bottom-up versus top-down emission inventory approaches, compliance and verification issues, and the role of uncertainty in emissions trading schemes.
Greenhouse Gas Measurement, Reporting and Verification by Michael Gillenwater Pdf
Addressing the long-term problem of global climate change largely rests on society's ability to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Without reliable metrics on the causes of climate change (i.e., primarily GHG emissions) we cannot mitigate it. The world needs a new workforce that is dedicated creating metrics and providing quality assurance on GHG emissions (and removals) upon which policies and other initiatives can be based, and then managing those emissions (and removals). As the old saying goes 'you cannot manage what you do not measure.' GHGMM is the application of science, engineering, and economic principles to improve the way society mitigates the anthropogenic causes of global climate change. This includes developing and providing reliable performance metrics related to GHG emissions and removals and managing activities that reduce GHG emissions to and/or increase their removals from the atmosphere. GHG measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) is the first component of GHGMM and is relevant to a variety of emission and removal accounting frameworks. each of which define the metrics that support particular mitigation policies and activities, such as those resulting from international treaties, domestic regulations, industrial efforts, or consumer actions. These GHG accounting frameworks include: global; national; sectoral/program/policy; technology/product/supply-chain; entity; facility; and project levels. Based on the pioneering and rigorous curriculum for professional development courses developed by GHGMI this text provides comprehensive coverage of the key GHG MRV issues, including: ' Designing, applying, and understanding the limitations of GHG protocols, standards, methodologies, emission inventories used for measuring and estimating GHG emissions and removals, as well as related technologies for all accounting frameworks and sectors. ' Designing and applying regulatory and compliance relevant MRV systems and rules for GHG emission and removal metrics, taking into account the context of policy developments and industry practices; ' Understanding and managing uncertainty in the measurement or estimation of GHG emissions, removals and storage; ' Establishing and enhancing quality assurance processes, including validation of approaches and verification of GHG emissions, removals and storage.

Informing an Effective Response to Climate Change by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate,America's Climate Choices: Panel on Informing Effective Decisions and Actions Related to Climate Change Pdf
Global climate change is one of America's most significant long-term policy challenges. Human activity-especially the use of fossil fuels, industrial processes, livestock production, waste disposal, and land use change-is affecting global average temperatures, snow and ice cover, sea-level, ocean acidity, growing seasons and precipitation patterns, ecosystems, and human health. Climate-related decisions are being carried out by almost every agency of the federal government, as well as many state and local government leaders and agencies, businesses and individual citizens. Decision makers must contend with the availability and quality of information, the efficacy of proposed solutions, the unanticipated consequences resulting from decisions, the challenge of implementing chosen actions, and must consider how to sustain the action over time and respond to new information. Informing an Effective Response to Climate Change, a volume in the America's Climate Choices series, describes and assesses different activities, products, strategies, and tools for informing decision makers about climate change and helping them plan and execute effective, integrated responses. It discusses who is making decisions (on the local, state, and national levels), who should be providing information to make decisions, and how that information should be provided. It covers all levels of decision making, including international, state, and individual decision making. While most existing research has focused on the physical aspect of climate change, Informing an Effective Response to Climate Change employs theory and case study to describe the efforts undertaken so far, and to guide the development of future decision-making resources. Informing an Effective Response to Climate Change offers much-needed guidance to those creating public policy and assists in implementing that policy. The information presented in this book will be invaluable to the research community, especially social scientists studying climate change; practitioners of decision-making assistance, including advocacy organizations, non-profits, and government agencies; and college-level teachers and students.
Cities and Climate Change by Daniel Hoornweg,Mila Freire,Marcus J. Lee,Perinaz Bhada-Tata,Belinda Yuen Pdf
This book provides the latest knowledge and practice in responding to the challenge of climate change in cities.
