IG3IS Webinar Series (Q1-Q2, 2025)
Following the successful completion of the inaugural webinar series in 2024, the WMO Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS) is excited to announce the continuation of this important initiative. Starting on January 28, 2025, IG3IS will host a new webinar series that spans the first and second quarters of the year. This upcoming series will feature a total of seven informative webinars, each led by a panel of esteemed experts from a diverse range of countries, including Switzerland, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Australia, Spain, and Canada.
During these sessions, speakers will delve into their unique experiences and highlight good practices from IG3IS-related projects and initiatives within their nations. Participants can expect to gain valuable insights into various strategies for monitoring and improving estimations of greenhouse gas emissions. This webinar series aims to foster international collaboration and knowledge exchange, providing a platform for attendees to engage with experts and learn from successful case studies. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or simply interested in GHG monitoring, these webinars promise to be a rich resource of information and inspiration.

About IG3IS
Integrated Global Greenhouse Gas Information System (IG3IS) is a common framework that allows for combination of atmospheric observations and analysis tools to improve information on emissions and uptakes of greenhouse gases (GHGs) on decision relevant scales. The applications include national-scale emission evaluation as well as urban scale and sectoral solutions. Good practices for application at different scales and sectors are created by IG3IS community. Engagement of the user community in creation of products is essential. The outputs of IG3IS can be used to support national and smaller scale mitigation policies, help identify emission reduction opportunities and track the progress towards emission reductions goals.
Coordination of IG3IS activities and organization of this webinar series is supported by NASA under award N. 80NSSC23K1349
