The Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS) is one of the “science-for-services” initiatives of the GAW Programme. IG3IS aims to enhance the capacity of WMO Members and their subnational entities to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through observation-based methodologies grounded in the best available science. NASA recognizes the importance of IG3IS and in September 2023 approved a research grant to further advance IG3IS implementation through development of methodologies and publication of good practices for greenhouse gas emission quantification at global, national, regional, city scales and for specific sectors. The guidelines on facility scale methane are one of the deliverables under this NASA grant.
Co budeš dělat
- Prepare an outline/structure and a list of contents for a planned Good Practice Guidelines for facility scale methane emission observations and monitoring and present outline to the IG3IS steering committee.
- Develop a timeline for writing, reviewing and publication of the guidelines.
- Working with the expert community, create a writing team and a list of contributors for drafting the guidelines.
- Organize online and/or in person workshops with relevant technical experts and stakeholders from major methane emitting sectors to facilitate the drafting of the document.
- Communicate with the drafting team the intended purpose of the documents, delivery timeline and expected contributions from team members.
- Coordinate the writing team to ensure the drafting is completed in a timely manner, and at sufficient standard.
- Present initial draft to the IG3IS steering committee and incorporate feedback in the document.
- Organize broad community review of the document including workshops, public comment as needed and guided by the IG3IS steering committee.
- Present the final draft to the IG3IS steering committee.
- Submit the document for publication to WMO Secretariat and support the WMO editorial team during the publication process.
- Present the final document through open webinar(s) with the support of the writing team.
