The World Meteorological Congress has approved a new greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring initiative in a landmark decision.
Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W) is an initiative coordinated by World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).
G3W aims to establish internationally coordinated monitoring of greenhouse gas fluxes (top-down) to support the provision of the UNFCCC parties and other stakeholders.
The new global GHG watch will fill critical information gaps and provide an integrated and operational framework.
The system will provide sustained delivery of monthly global estimates of net GHG fluxes into and out of the atmosphere at a 100 by 100 km resolution.
