Rising concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are the main drivers of climate change, responsible for more than 80% of the increase in radiative forcing relative to pre-industrial times (66% for CO2, 16% for CH4). The newly established US Government Greenhouse Gas Monitoring and Information Center (US GHG Center) is an interagency effort, led by NASA, to provide relevant, trusted, reliable greenhouse gas information and products to support climate change mitigation and adaptation decisions. This townhall provides an opportunity to view the latest in the development of the use cases, products, and the portal from the US GHG Center and allows stakeholders to share their thoughts on the current offerings, additional greenhouse gas information needed to support decision making, as well as provide space for discussion on private sector engagement, research advances in GHG monitoring products, and exploration of future partnerships.
