The document discusses greenhouse gas (GHG) programs, accounting protocols, and rules for generating GHG revenues. It provides an overview of key GHG policy tools, regulations, registries, and programs. It also summarizes GHG management processes, standards, accounting methods for inventories and emission reduction projects, and challenges in GHG markets.
At the UNFCCC COP20 in Lima Peru, WRI, C40 and ICLEI launch the first internationally accepted standard for measuring emissions at the city level. The Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories (GPC) empowers cities to accurately identify where their emissions are coming from, set credible and achievable reduction targets, and consistently track progress.
World Resources Institute hosted a launch event on 21 November 2014 for two new Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standards to inform government climate change strategies.
Building on previous GHG Protocol standards, the Policy and Action Standard helps evaluate the effectiveness of specific policies or measures in achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions, empowering policymakers and analysts to better assess and communicate their progress. The Mitigation Goal Standard takes a bigger picture view, enabling governments to determine their emissions trajectory and whether their policy portfolio aligns with reaching their climate goals. Both standards are applicable for all levels of government.

Governments around the world are starting to mandate that government funded organizations such as universities and NRENs develop Climate Change Preparedness plans. This is in recognition that we are already committed to a 2C average temperature increase and given the lack of any international agreement on curbing GHG emissions we may be headed to a 6C global average temperature increase. More severe weather patterns are expected which will cause severe disruption to our energy and physical infrastructure. Resilient networks, new network architectures and tools such as distance education and remote collaborative research will be required by our universities and schools to survive and endure periods of such extreme weather. A well designed and thought out Climate Change Preparedness plan can also help higher-ed and NRENs increase their operational resiliency, as well as significantly reduce their current electrical energy costs. In addition a good Climate Change Preparedness plan can also be an excellent way for higher-ed and NRENs to reduce their existing GHG footprint.
Climate change will have a big impact on how we carry out big science. Remote instrumentation to access instruments located at renewable energy sites will be critical

In its Third Assessment Report (TAR), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that human activities are the main contributors to global warming. Each nation is adopting measures to combat issues related to climate change. Global initiatives have been taken up by governments and companies to reduce the impact of their operations on the environment. To help these organizations better understand their carbon footprint, reporting systems for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were created. GHG emissions are disclosed either through regulated schemes or through voluntary reporting.

A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide—released into the atmosphere by a particular human activity. A carbon footprint can be a broad meaasure or be applied to the actions of an individual, a family, an event, an organization, or even an entire nation.
The presentation of Katriina Alhola and Jáchym Judl of Finnish Environmental Institute (SYKE) in the Carbon Game -event. It was organised by Sitra in collaboration with Climate Partners and SYKE. In the event the definition and rules of carbon neutrality were discussed as well as how carbon neutrality is seen in business both in Finland and globally.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
