Blog Colombia Strengthens Greenhouse Gas Inventories through the NZ-backed Training
Bogotá, Colombia is strengthening its national capacity to measure and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture and land use through a training initiative implemented in partnership with the New Zealand Government and the Alliance Bioversity International and the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT).
The initiative is funded through the New Zealand Government’s Climate Smart Agriculture Initiative as part of its contribution to the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) and the Alliance Bioversity & CIAT through funding from CGIAR Climate Action and Scaling for Impact Science Program.
At the heart of the programme is a series of targeted technical workshops designed to enhance Colombia’s national greenhouse gas inventory for the Agriculture and Land Use, Land‑Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sectors. These sectors are central to Colombia’s climate mitigation efforts and to the country’s commitments under the Paris Agreement.
