Greenhouse Gas Inventory & Research Centre of Korea
Greenhouse Gas Training Program for Inventory and Mitigation Modeling (June - July 2011, Incheon, Republic of Korea)
Jointly sponsored by Greenhouse Gas Inventory & Research (GIR) Center of Korea and Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea
Jointly conducted by GIR Korea and Environmental Human Resources Development (EHRD), this 4-week training program aimed at improving capacity building in developing countries (non-Annex I) to combat climate change issues. It is meaningful in that this is the first international training program in Korea on greenhouse gas, and the program is intended to enhance international environmental cooperation and to spread "Low Carbon, Green Growth" strategies on greenhouse gas inventory and mitigation models.
The program is also designed to expand expert networks and to build a foundation for international cooperation with developing countries for GHG inventories and mitigation.
The topics include, but are not limited to:
Inventory course
- Understanding types and characteristics of Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
- Learning methods of calculating emissions in various sectors
- Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC)
- Calculation Methods by sectors
- Becoming familiar with industrial processes
- Methodology for GHG inventory compilation
- Case studies on green growth
Future Perfect provided two highly qualified lecturers for the inventory course, and the course evaluation survey indicated that both lecturers were extremely well received.
Peter Barden taught "Calculation Methods" in Agriculture sector.
Dr. Gillian Marks taught "Calculation Methods" in Energy sector.
Comments
"This program has given me a lot of new knowledges in GHGs inventory. Since I work in the development area, this information will help my current job as a researcher."
Ben Satriatna, Researcher, Center for Economics & Development Studies, Indonesia
"I used to think that mitigation is more important than inventory, but I know much more about the importance of GHG and how to calculate inventories in different sectors"
