Filling The Knowledge Gap: Greenhouse Gas Research

摘要

The International Hydropower Association and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization are embarking on a four-year greenhouse gas research project. Through this effort, the organizations intend to develop methods for accurately measuring emissions from freshwater reservoirs and to provide guidance to project developers and owners about how to mitigate emissions at vulnerable sites. . Climate change is one of today's most important policy subjects for sustainable development. The issue of greenhouse gas emissions from freshwater reservoirs plays a role in these discussions, and there are still many questions to be answered. The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Research Project, being performed by the International Hydropower Association (IHA) in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), aims to improve understanding of the effect of reservoirs on natural GHG emissions.
