NitroEurope - or NEU for short - is a project for integrated European research into the nitrogen cycle. NitroEurope is part of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, and will run for 5 years from February 2006 until 2011.
NitroEuropeIP is coordinated by The UK Centre For Ecology and Hydrology.
SUMMERSCHOOL 20-26 June 2010 - Greenhouse gas emissions from rural activities
Mon, 22/03/2010 - 08:55 — agnieszka_eljasz
Course introduction
To mitigate climate change, demanding greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are being negotiated.
Meeting these targets requires putting to work a broad and integrated range of reduction options, including those related to land use. Mitigation efforts in forestry, agriculture and land management need quantification against a large natural background variability. To merit the
reduction achievements by motivated stakeholders in these sectors and to prevent leakage to less committed players requires a form of full carbon accounting.
Course aim
Full carbon accounting is a demanding task, in which scientific complexity and manageable, transparent accounting systems have difficulty to meet. The question we try answer in this course is: can we bring these together?
