COP25 UN Side event
Madrid, 5 December, 2019 – h. 14:30‐16:00 CET
Room Helsinki, EU Pavilion
The Paris Agreement framework requires a robust contribution from the scientific community, in building confidence on the accuracy of current GHG trends and in assessing the collective progress towards the long temperature goal. Starting from an overview of the reporting and verification requirements under the Paris Agreement, this event illustrates how science is contributing in terms of data, methods, independent estimates and future benchmark scenarios, with a focus on the most complex and uncertain among the GHG sectors: Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses (AFOLU).

- Lucia Perugini (CMCC) – Reporting and verification needs under the Paris Agreement
- Fabio Monforti (European Commission, JRC) – 2019 EDGAR report on Fossil CO2 and GHG emissions of all world countries
- Sandro Federici (IPCC TSU, Task Force on GHG inventories) – 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines: updates for AFOLU sector
- Martin Herold (Wageningen University) Satellite time series for national reporting and tracking performance
- Jo House (Bristol University) – Greenhouse Gas Emissions and removals from Agriculture forestry and other land uses in recent and upcoming IPCC reports
