Overview
The agricultural sector contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for approximately 10-12% of total anthropogenic emissions. This advanced course is designed to address the complexities of GHG emissions in agriculture, focusing on the underlying processes, measurement methodologies, and modeling tools relevant to cropping systems.
Course Objectives
Participants will gain insights into:
- International reporting processes for GHG emissions and carbon removal.
- Sources and drivers of GHG emissions and carbon sequestration.
- State-of-the-art measurement methods for GHG emissions and soil carbon changes.
- Direct and indirect GHG mitigation strategies.
- Designing and improving national inventories of GHG emissions.
- Utilizing simulation models for estimating GHG emissions and soil carbon changes.
Format and Participation
The course will feature both face-to-face and online sessions, allowing for a diverse range of participants. It includes lectures from experts, practical work, and group discussions based on real case studies. Participants will also be encouraged to submit reports on GHG mitigation initiatives from their regions, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
