Notice Title

RDE768 Expert support for the UKBCEP Greenhouse Gas Inventory working group

Notice Description

The Greenhouse Gas Inventory Working Group was commissioned by the UKBCEP in 2024 to build on existing work to inform the UK's approach for considering inclusion of coastal wetlands in the UK GHG Inventory. The working group has been using the report 'Defining saltmarsh and the roadmap for its potential inclusion in the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Inventory', led by the UKCEH, to determine its workplan. The working group is chaired by Cefas and relies on the expertise brought to the group by its members. The group currently meets every 6 weeks with at least one in-person meeting each year. Cefas are looking to secure the time of experts from the UKCEH to attend and contribute towards working group meetings and activities throughout the year. This will include attendance at both online and in-person meetings, where feasible and input into workplan preparation as well as ad-hoc correspondence between meetings, where relevant.
