abstract = "To effectively implement the Paris Agreement, capacity in carbon
accounting must be strengthened in the developing world, and
partnerships with local academic institutions can do the
accounting for governments and fill the capacity gap. This paper
highlights the Brazilian case, focusing on ways in which climate
change science information and transparency are being incorporated
in national C accounting initiatives, particularly the national
inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals. We
report how the third inventory for the sector of land use,
land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) was implemented to address
scientific challenges involved in the monitoring of carbon stocks
and land-use changes of diverse and complex biomes while
addressing international and national policy demands (report and
decision support) and transparency to various stakeholders. GHG
emissions and removals associated with 2002-2010 carbon changes in
aboveground, belowground biomass, necromass and soil carbon by
land use and land cover changes were estimated for all Brazilian
biomes, and for the Amazon estimates were also presented for the
periods of 2002-2005 and 2005-2010. The inventory improved
regional estimates for carbon stock and national emission factors
with the support and engagement of the scientific community.
Incorporation of local context is essential to reduce
uncertainties and properly monitor efforts to contribute to GHG
emission/reduction targets. To promote transparency and make
information more accessible, the national inventory results were
made available by the National Emissions Registry System (SIRENE).
This system was built to support climate change policies as an
important legal apparatus and by increasing access to emissions
and land-use change data.",
