CONSULTANCY-IG3IS landscape scale carbon dioxide guidelines - SSA-2026-ACES-SSCD-6

Background

The Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS) is one of the “science-for-services” initiatives of the GAW Programme. IG3IS engages large scientific and practitioner communities to enhance the capacity of WMO member countries and their subnational entities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in targeted areas and track progress toward their reduction goals following consistent methodologies based on the best available science. NASA recognizes the importance of IG3IS and in September 2023 approved a research grant to further advance IG3IS implementation through development of methodologies and publication of good practices for greenhouse gas emission quantification for decision-making at global, national, regional, city scales and for specific sectors. The guidelines on the landscape scale carbon dioxide emissions and removals quantification with the focus on forestry are one of the deliverables under this NASA grant.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Prepare an outline/structure and a list of contents for a planned Good Practice Guidelines for landscape scale carbon dioxide emission observations and monitoring and present outline to the IG3IS steering committee.
