Ispra, Italy
Hannes Böttcher presented the project in a poster at the IPCC Expert Meeting on Reconciling anthropogenic land use GHG estimates that was held at JRC in Ispra, Italy. The meeting brought together experts working in three different communities: experts on GHG inventories, scientists developing land use models, and experts in the field of remote sensing. They discussed differences between their approaches to estimating GHG emissions and removals from land use. A finding from the meeting was that a reconciliation between different approaches is needed, similar to a “translation” between languages. The quality of the translation has impacts on the estimated remaining global carbon budget and the timing to reach net zero GHG emissions. An important discussion focused on ways how to best communicate differences. Our project will provide examples where this communication was successful and more transparency was achieved.
