LAMNET Webinar series: The Kaya-Porter Identity
A novel inventory framework to estimate and analyze greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural crop production and livestock systems, by deconstructing emission into its relevant elements, as a basis for policy-making on climate change mitigation.
The International Centre for tropical Agriculture (CIAT), CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and Latin American Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Network (LAMNET) invite you to a webinar on the Kaya-Porter Identity which will be presented by its author – Prof. Dr. John R. Porter. This is the first of a series of webinars.
The Kaya-Porter identity is a concept developed by Professor, Dr. John R. Porter from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The new identity is developed from the well-known Kaya identity. Professor Dr. John R. Porter first presented the idea at the COP15 held in Copenhagen and has now published the framework in several peer-reviewed journals.
