Climate Conversations: Tracking Emissions

The Climate Communication Initiative coordinates efforts across the National Academies to facilitate rapid and effective communication of evidence-based insights to an attentive public and critical decision makers.All future events in theClimate Conversations: Pathways to Actionseries after November 18, 2022 will have registration through our website.

The Climate Communications Initiative

Join us for a conversation that connects the policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with the science of measuring those emissions.

As the world gathers at COP26 and commits to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is critical that our scientific capabilities to monitor those emissions directly informs policies and supports accountability. Valerie Karplus (Carnegie Mellon University) will moderate a conversation with Arlyn Andrews (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and Bart Croes (California Air Resources Board, formerly) about how scientists and policymakers work together at different scales to monitor and verify emissions, and about how that knowledge can help determine if approaches to reduce emissions are effective at addressing climate change.The conversation will be livestreamed on the <a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/10-20-2021/climate-conversations-tracking-emissions" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Climate Conversations: Tracking Emissions webpage </a>today! Register here if you’d like to receive future updates. Otherwise, feel free to join us directly on that page at 3:00 PM ET.<a href="https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-work/climate-conversations-pathways-to-action" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Climate Conversations: Pathways to Action </a>is a monthly webinar series from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that aims to convene high-level, cross-cutting, nonpartisan conversations about issues relevant to national policy action on climate change.Participant BiosArlyn Andrews leads the Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases group within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Global Monitoring Laboratory. As a leading expert in greenhouse gas measurements and their interpretation, she has contributed to the development of carbon dioxide and methane sensors for surface, aircraft, balloon and satellite platforms and to NOAA's CarbonTracker modeling framework for estimating greenhouse gas emissions and removals.Bart Croes is the retired Chief of the Research Division for the California Air Resources Board, where he was responsible for air quality standards, emissions and atmospheric processes research, and greenhouse gas mitigation. He has published peer-reviewed articles on emission inventory evaluation, air quality data analysis, and climate change impacts on California.Valerie Karplus is an Associate Professor in the department of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. Karplus studies resource and environmental management in organizations across diverse national and industry contexts. She is an expert on China’s energy system and its impacts on air pollution and climate change, working collaboratively with scholars in China for nearly 20 years.Disclosure: The webinar participants have no financial or commercial relationships to disclose related to this online educational activity.
