Summary

The U.S. Greenhouse Gas Center is a multi-government agency effort to coordinate across the United States government, private sector, non-governmental organizations, and international entities to integrate and distribute actionable greenhouse gas (GHG) data. The initial 2-year demonstration phase targets three GHG areas of study: gridded human-caused GHG emissions; natural GHG sources and sinks; and new observations for tracking large emission events. The Center has already helped make the case for Turkmenistan to join the Global Methane Pledge and is coordinating U.S. support of the World Meteorological Organization's efforts to create a Global Greenhouse Gas Watch.
