Top-down and bottom-up approaches to estimating city-level CO2 emissions have complementary strengths and weaknesses. Top-down approaches use aggregated national data to provide overall emission figures for sectors but cannot identify specific pollution hotspots. Bottom-up approaches use highly disaggregated local data in engineering models to suggest outcomes of policies and efficiency measures, but require detailed equipment-level information. An ideal approach for cities would combine top-down and bottom-up methods to establish baselines, forecast reductions, and inform targeted actions.

System for Land-Based Emissions Estimation in Kenyaipcc-media
SLEEK is Kenya's system for estimating land-based GHG emissions. It includes the Full Land Integration Tool (FLINT) engine and reporting tools to integrate local data with scientific models and IPCC guidelines. SLEEK is led by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and involves over 15 government agencies and institutions organized into working groups. Kenya developed its own tier 3 FLINT model with international expert support to build national capacity and address uncertainties in previous land sector emissions calculations. Model outputs are verified through comparison with manual calculations and by confirming net flux balances.
Tier 3 forest model development and application in UK GHG inventoriesipcc-media
This document discusses the development and application of forest carbon models in UK greenhouse gas inventories. It notes that the UK recognized early the important role of forests and developed the first analytical model of carbon sequestration and losses in forests in 1988. This model, eventually named CARBINE, and other similar models are now used to estimate how much carbon UK forests are storing. CARBINE is applied in GHG inventories to better represent detailed forest composition and management. The document outlines the components and assumptions of CARBINE, including relying on long-term forest data and yield tables to estimate carbon stock changes, and notes the importance of transparency in documentation.

- Developing a national GHG inventory requires integrating data from different sources using methods that rely on data, assumptions, and models. Higher tier methods (Tier 3) use spatially-explicit models to track emissions at the unit level and better capture variations, estimate carbon flows between pools, and project emission scenarios.
- Indonesia has developed the Indonesian National Carbon Accounting System (INCAS) as a Tier 3 integrating tool to produce detailed annual estimates of emissions and removals to support policy and meet reporting needs. The system uses land cover change data and biophysical models within a transparent framework to facilitate verification.
- Higher tiers provide more accurate estimates and ability to analyze management impacts but require consideration of reporting needs

This document discusses flexibility in reporting progress towards baseline (BAU) mitigation targets under the Paris Agreement. It identifies key information needed for reporting and tracking progress, including specifying the NDC target, national GHG inventories, use of cooperative approaches, and implementation of mitigation actions and projections. Many developing countries still face capacity limitations in providing this information due to unclear targets, outdated inventories, difficulty quantifying actions and aligning with BAU scenarios. The document concludes flexibility is needed to help these countries improve reporting over time while building on discretion already provided in guidelines. It suggests flexibility options to facilitate improvement.

This document discusses the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS). It provides an overview of the GFCS's vision, priority areas, and member climate services checklist. The checklist is used to assess members' climate services capacities in six categories. Analysis of 109 member responses found basic systems and service delivery need improvement. The document advocates for more coherent financing of complete climate services systems to improve adaptation outcomes. It promotes establishing National Frameworks for Climate Services to enable development and delivery of climate services at the country level.
This document discusses challenges and solutions in using the Common Reporting Format (CRF) and CRF Reporter for South Korea's national greenhouse gas inventory reporting. It outlines Korea's use of the CRF for in-country data gathering and describes issues like a lack of flexibility and the inability to break down emissions for some categories. It then introduces a new proposed reporting format, the GIRF, that could provide more transparency and reduce errors by separating emissions, activity data, and emission factors into different tables. Finally, it discusses Korea's plans to improve its national inventory through developing country-specific emission factors and transitioning to the 2006 IPCC guidelines.

This document discusses various tools and methods for analyzing and mitigating land use conflicts. It describes Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Land Use Conflict Risk Assessment (LUCRA), and Indicator Based Assessment (IBA) as common assessment methods. For each, it provides details on what they assess, their level of analysis, sustainability pillars covered, whether they are legally required, and existence of guidance documents. Additionally, it outlines tools like accounts, cost-benefit analysis, action impact matrix, multi-criteria analysis, and spatial analysis that can be used to inform the various assessment methods.
The IPCC Inventory Software is free software produced by the IPCC Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories to help countries compile their greenhouse gas inventories according to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines. It allows entry of country-specific data and methods at higher tiers. Updates will integrate all tiers and methods from the 2006 Guidelines. Support includes a user manual, help desk, testers group, and annual user meetings. Future additions may include more sectors, disaggregation, multiple users, time series export, and translations.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Nicholas Herold on monitoring climate trends using climate indices. It discusses the importance of understanding long-term climate trends to inform decision-making, and how satellite data and reanalysis products can augment local data records. Various examples of climate indices are provided, such as the number of hot days per year and sector-specific indices used in adaptation planning in regions like the Caribbean, South Asia, and Italy. Tools for calculating indices like ClimPACT2 are also introduced.
This document discusses climate change projections and their role in developing adaptation pathways. It notes that the IPCC provides the scientific basis for climate policies and that climate models at global and regional scales can provide climate change information and projections. It emphasizes that adaptation strategies should consider both current climate variability and potential future climate changes, as the risks may evolve over time. It also highlights lessons from Southeast Asia including the need for coordinated regional guidance, engagement with users, and probabilistic projections of climate extremes.
The EPA Catchments Unit held its 2018 annual Catchment Management Network Meeting on 14 November. All our local authorities and many other public bodies are invited to this meeting to talk about how to protect and improve Ireland's waters.
This document discusses options for transparently reporting the use of flexibility in Common Reporting Tables (CRTs) and National Inventory Documents (NIDs) in accordance with the Paris Agreement. It considers:
1) Using notation keys or documentation boxes to indicate flexibility while avoiding deleting rows/columns.
2) Developing new notation keys to differentiate flexibility for developing countries from other options.
3) Including a summary table in the Biennial Transparency Report listing the provision, how flexibility was applied, capacity constraints, and timeframes for improvements.
4) Using a fixed-row table listing all provisions where flexibility can be used and whether each party has applied flexibility there. This promotes comparability but may miss some
The Energy Modelling Group (EMG) at SEAI supports Irish energy policy development through modelling. EMG's main publication is the annual National Energy Forecast which models scenarios to estimate energy demand, supply and renewable contribution. EMG also uses models like BEAM and PLEXOS to analyze impacts of policies, conduct cost-benefit analyses of programs, and explore long-term roadmaps to 2050 for sectors like residential buildings and bioenergy.
Making Emissions Inventories Comparable and Useful | Sebastian Carneyicarb
The document discusses making emissions inventories more useful. It recommends focusing on the future rather than the past and establishing clear goals. A PESTLE analysis can help identify political, economic, social, and technological factors. An inventory should include emissions factors, data sources, and risks. Consistent reporting formats and representing uncertainty are important. Scrumcasting can bring together users and suppliers to identify roles and develop scenarios. The overall aim is to establish what can be done and present data consistently to build capacity.
The document discusses the LDC Group's perspectives on common reporting tables (CRTs) and greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory reporting software. It notes that LDCs have limited experience using tables and reporting software. While CRTs and software could increase transparency and efficiency, LDCs will require financial and technical support to use them and prepare national inventory reports. The LDC Group emphasizes that the ability of LDCs to prepare and submit GHG reports depends strongly on having robust national systems, trained staff, and quality data availability, not just reporting tools.
This document discusses options for developing Common Reporting Tables (CRTs) to report national greenhouse gas inventory information. It provides context on the current Common Reporting Format (CRF) approach and criteria for CRT development. Open questions are outlined related to CRT structure, sectors, and reporting flexibility. Scenarios are analyzed for including background data tables, reporting the NDC reference year, adapting to the 2019 IPCC guidelines, and applying flexibility options. The main findings are that multiple approaches could satisfy criteria, and the reporting software is fundamental. In conclusion, the CRFs provide a good starting point, ensuring options for all parties and standardizing tables as much as possible are important considerations.
Review of Domestic Level Carbon Accounting Tools: Lessons from a Passive Hous...icarb
This document reviews and compares various domestic carbon accounting tools for assessing the carbon footprint of buildings, based on a case study of a Passive House. It analyzes tools such as the Athena Impact Estimator, Basic Freight Modelling Calculator, EcoTransit, RICS SMM7, and others. For each tool, it provides details on how it works and calculates carbon emissions, and evaluates its strengths and limitations for domestic building carbon assessment. In general, it finds that the tools provide varied levels of accuracy and customization, with many relying on approximations, limited construction options, or non-domestic data that impact their suitability for UK building carbon analysis.
The document discusses key challenges in developing common greenhouse gas reporting tables for the Paris Agreement. It suggests updating current reporting tables to reflect provisions in the Paris Agreement and flexibility guidelines, adding specifications for flexibility use, and developing integrated inventory software that can compile inventories, generate common reporting tables, and include flexibility documentation. This approach addresses needs for both developed and developing countries in a comprehensive manner. It will require agreement through the UNFCCC and significant capacity building to support implementation starting in 2022.
Introducing external costs for Local Atmospheric Pollution (LAP) in TIAM-MACR...IEA-ETSAP
This document proposes two methods for modeling the co-benefits of reducing local air pollution (LAP) when addressing climate change mitigation in the integrated assessment model TIAM-MACRO.
Method 1 involves defining the costs of LAP and benefits of reducing LAP in the welfare function of the model. Method 2 explicitly treats LAP emissions and externalities by imposing taxes on pollutants to represent the external costs of emissions and incentivize lower emissions.
The proposal is to extend the TIAM database to include LAP emissions, externalities, and control options to allow for cost-benefit and social benefit analyses considering both climate change and LAP impacts. Results would demonstrate the new modeling capabilities and be published in peer-reviewed journals.

The document discusses the need for a socio-economic module (SEM) in the Carbon Benefits Project (CBP) to standardize the assessment of socio-economic impacts and carbon benefits of GEF projects. The SEM would develop tools to quantify carbon stocks and greenhouse gas emissions, monitor changes, and assess socio-economic benefits. It would include testing the methodology on existing GEF projects, building capacity, and designing accessible tools and guidance for project managers. The overall goal is for the SEM to help the GEF rigorously demonstrate the global environment and socio-economic benefits of its investments.
The document describes Component A of the Carbon Benefits Project which aims to develop a standardized methodology and protocol for measuring, monitoring, and reporting the carbon benefits of land management projects.
Component A is led by Colorado State University and involves multiple partners developing the protocol and testing it using existing projects. The protocol will provide guidance to projects on assessing carbon stocks, greenhouse gas fluxes, and economic impacts in a standardized way. It will incorporate existing carbon modeling tools and involve capacity building activities.
The document summarizes a UNCCD Science Conference session on a new carbon tracking tool called the Carbon Benefits Project (CBP). The CBP provides online, free and user-friendly tools to estimate the carbon benefits of sustainable land management projects. It was tested on a case study in Mato Grosso State, Brazil where the detailed assessment tool estimated carbon benefits of 11.4 million tons of CO2e with lower uncertainty compared to 17.6 million tons from the simple assessment. The CBP aims to standardize carbon reporting for projects seeking carbon finance.
Methods and tools for adaptation appraisal in agriculture and assessing crop ...NAP Events
Presented by: Claudius Caezar Gabinete
3.1 Technical guidance on NAPs
The session will take the participants through the technical guidance for NAPs, including: NAP guidelines, guiding principles for adaptation under the Convention, and subsequent products developed by the LEG such as the sample NAP process. It will further look detailed aspects on undertaking assessments by going through best available methods and tools for assessing for assessing crop production as an example. Countries will further provide practical experiences in applying the guidance in the formulation of their NAPs.
This document provides an inventory of existing methodologies and tools for energy and CO2 balancing that could be used or adapted for use by the RURENER rural community network project. It describes 15 different tools, including their purpose, inputs required, outputs provided, and how to access them. The tools vary in their level of analysis (sectoral vs transversal), data requirements, and output format (excel vs web-based). While most tools focus on CO2 emissions, they differ in their simplicity and ability to answer the main questions of interest to RURENER network members for energy planning and progress monitoring toward energy neutrality.
This document discusses enhancing results for National Adaptation Planning (NAP) processes. It notes that NAPs are highly contextual, making universal measurement and verification systems difficult. It is also challenging to establish a clear theory of change for adaptation due to lack of clear causal pathways. The document proposes focusing on outcomes such as strengthening country capacity to implement NAPs, prioritizing adaptation in national plans, and enhancing capacity for adaptation planning and implementation. It discusses tools for monitoring and reporting on NAP implementation and challenges such as delays. Solutions proposed include ensuring quality project design and establishing effective monitoring and evaluation systems.
This document summarizes a webinar for two studies on energy efficiency and carbon savings potential in Minnesota. The demand-side study will estimate potential savings from energy efficiency programs for 2020-2029, identifying cost-effective measures and sectors to target. The supply-side study will estimate potential savings from improving utility infrastructure efficiency, including generation and transmission/distribution systems. Both studies will involve collecting data, modeling savings potential at different levels, and providing policy recommendations to help Minnesota achieve its energy goals. Stakeholder input will be gathered through interviews, meetings, and an advisory committee to guide the studies.
This document summarizes a workshop on applying performance measures to highway capacity decision making. It discusses the objectives of the workshop, which were to understand and apply the elements of SHRP2's performance measurement framework. It provides an overview of SHRP2 research, including the development of a framework that integrates environmental, economic, community and other factors into transportation planning. It then details the framework, identifying topics and factors considered at different planning stages. The document outlines next steps for the region in developing an action plan and continuing stakeholder engagement to advance performance-based transportation decision making.
This document provides guidance on appraising adaptation actions through climate change impact assessment (CCIA). CCIA estimates the proportion of total benefits from a program that are associated with adaptation and mitigation to determine a climate change relevance percentage (CC%). A rapid CCIA can be completed in a few hours by compiling available evidence and expert opinions to score benefits, while a more in-depth valuation-based CCIA uses formal models. An exercise walks through applying a six-step qualitative scoring methodology to a forestry program as an example to estimate the CC% through a rapid CCIA.

Presented by Ian Hanou at the Trees, People, and Built Environment 3 Conference, Birmingham, England, April 2017. Geospatial mapping and analysis of the urban forest including tree inventories and Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) assessments have become commonplace tools in North America. Cities and environmental nonprofits use inventories to improve management and maintenance, and use UTC to develop a citywide benchmark, monitor change, inform master plans, and prioritize planting efforts to maximize benefits where they are lacking in the community. As a natural progression with recent GIS and mobile technology innovations, inventories and UTC data have been incorporated into online mapping programs to increase access to this information and ease-of-use for non-technical users.
Through a series of short case studies, this paper highlights some of the benefits, considerations, and impacts of bringing urban forestry data and prioritization tools into online mapping applications. Evidence suggests that such tools may increase awareness of the urban forest as an asset and a resource for community development, public health goals, and scenario planning. The collaboration that is created during an inclusive process to develop and implement such tools is discussed along with the role of tree professionals and nonprofits in UTC targets, followed by recommendations for practitioners.

This document assesses the environmental sustainability of plant-based meats and pork in China. It finds that doubling food production while reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions by 73% by 2050 will be a major challenge. It compares the life cycle impacts of plant-based meats made from soy, pea, and wheat proteins and oils, as well as pork and beef. The results show that the crop type and source country of the core protein ingredient drives the environmental performance of plant-based meats. The document provides sustainability guidelines for sourcing ingredients from regions with low deforestation risk and irrigation needs, using renewable energy in production, and avoiding coal power.
This document summarizes a case study on the dairy value chain in China. It finds that milk production and consumption have significantly increased in China from 1978 to 2018. Large-scale dairy farms now dominate production. The study evaluates greenhouse gas emissions from different stages and finds feed production is a major contributor. It models options to reduce the carbon footprint, finding improving feed practices and yield have high potential. Land use is also assessed, with soybean meal requiring significant land. Recommendations include changing feeds to lower land and carbon impacts.
This document summarizes information on the impacts of livestock production globally and in Asia. It finds that livestock occupies one third of global cropland and one quarter of ice-free land for pastures. Asia accounts for 32% of global enteric greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, with most emissions coming from India, China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Rapid growth of livestock production in Asia is contributing to water and air pollution through nutrient runoff and emissions. The document discusses opportunities for public and private investment in more sustainable and climate-friendly livestock systems through technologies, monitoring, plant-based alternatives, and policies to guide intensification.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
