International carbon emissions project opens its first UK office
An international project giving the latest information on carbon emissions has opened its first UK office at the University of East Anglia (UEA).
According to the UEA, the Global Carbon Project provides objective scientific data to policy-makers and the public on the latest trends in CO2 emissions and ‘sinks’ around the world. It already has offices in Australia, Japan, France, US, China and South Korea with more than 50 scientists around the world contributing their expertise to the project.
The UK Global Carbon Project Office will be located within the UEA-led Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, itself a partnership of eight UK universities.
Funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, the office will support the annual publication of the project’s ‘global carbon budget’, which quantifies global CO2 emissions in the previous 12 months and shows how they are divided between the land, ocean and atmosphere.
Last year, the group reported that global CO2 emissions had reached 10 billion tonnes following a 50 per cent rise over the last two decades in emissions from fossil fuels.
