Join our upcoming webinar! The Manure Management Network of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA) will host a webinar on "B0 for IPCC inventories and biogas production". This webinar is on B0, also known as biochemical methane potential, which is an estimate of the maximum possible methane production or emission from a substrate. Measurements of B0 can be used to estimate methane emission from stored liquid manure when combined with a kinetic model. Three researchers with extensive…

Our popular webinar series is back in May - register now! We are partnering again with the Irish Teagasc Climate Centre to give you access to the latest research findings. Our first presenters Jane Kay, DairyNZ and Ben Lahart, Teagasc, will delve into the question of “Does seasonality affect how much methane an animal produces?” Understanding methane emissions from cows grazing seasonal pasture is important for accurate accounting of agricultural GHG emissions. Researchers from Ireland and New Zealand are working together to…

This webinar is aimed to researchers, students and the general public interested in the use of different methodologies to quantify nitrous oxide emissions and ammonia volatilization from agroecosystems, their advantages, and challenges for their implementation. We will also touch on how to use the information generated for national inventories improvement, and we will also provide an update on the development of the N flagship from the GRA. SPEAKERS Mrs Sara Hube, INIA Chile She is chemist, was trained on greenhouse…

The United Nations declared 2024 as the International Year of Camelids (IYC 2024), recognizing the critical role of camelids (camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, guanacos) in food security, livelihoods, and ecosystem resilience, particularly in arid and marginal environments. Throughout the year, GASL knowledge partners have contributed through case studies, outreach events, and policy discussions, showcasing the economic, social, environmental and cultural importance of camelids. This webinar aims to synthesize key findings, share best practices, and discuss common facing challenges and possible…

As countries prepare to enhance their NDCs under the Paris Agreement, addressing non-CO₂ pollutants—including methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and N₂O—is essential for enhancing ambition. Clear goals and ambitious measures to reduce non-CO₂ pollutants can achieve immediate climate benefits while also improving air quality, public health, and sustainable development. Drawing from the CCAC’s Guidance for Including Non-CO₂ Pollutants in NDCs, this series offers actionable insights on how to integrate mitigation and adaptation strategies in NDCs that are ambitious, bankable, and measurable.  The webinar series…
