REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes2 (RECCAP2) - Overview -

To evaluate the regional contributions to the global budgets of GHGs and identify ‘hot-spots’ of inter-annual variability and trends, and their underlying processes. [...] Policy-relevant objectives of RECCAP2 • To contribute to the global stocktake and tracking towards net zero emissions of anthropogenic and natural GHG sources and sinks. [...] • To develop robust observation-based estimates of changes in carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions and sinks by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. [...] • To gain science-based evidence of the response of marine and terrestrial regional GHG budgets to climate change and direct anthropogenic drivers. [...] To constrain the remaining carbon budget through a better understanding of the response of marine and terrestrial regional GHG budgets to climate change and direct anthropogenic drivers - climate-biogeochemical feedbacks.
