Last year, 30 students were selected from a pool of 210 applicants from 72 countries. This programme was a four-week intensive training course, and structured to address the current gaps, which would allow the trainees to undertake national GHG inventories upon their return. Trainees themselves came willing to participate and engage with the group, and expressed an eagerness to bring the knowledge learned back to their teams at home.
A professional training programme on the transparency of climate action and support, organized jointly by UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Greenhouse Gas Inventory & Research Center of Korea is now officially open for applications.
The programme seeks to provide professional training on greenhouse gas inventories to national experts from developing countries.
The training is the first of its kind under the UNFCCC-CASTT initiative on climate action support and transparency training.
Overall, the comprehensive programme looks to facilitate effective and
universal participation of countries in the measurement, reporting and
verification arrangements under the UNFCCC and the transparency
framework under the Paris Agreement.
Its goal is to enhance the technical capacity of individuals and to improve the overall competency in reporting and in contributing to climate action.
Government officials, consultants and researchers in the fields of
greenhouse gas emissions, emission reductions or more generally in the
response to climate change are encouraged to apply by 10 May, 2019.
The training will begin on 22 July and run for four weeks in the Republic of Korea.
