Thank you to Sven van Baren for presenting #NextGenCarbon at the workshop organised by the Joint Research Centre and @eea.europa.eu, great event and we look forward to collaborating with everyone further! #NGC #LULUCF

Whom is #NextGenCarbon for? Our project aims to provide information on #GHGbudgeting and the land-based carbon cycle to policy makers, land managers and European citizens. The main goal is to increase understanding of #carbonneutrality and share science-based information on #climatechange.

We're delighted that Europe's leading climate scientists are part of NextGenCarbon, bringing their expertise to the project to improve our understanding of Europe's greenhouse gas budget. Who are the people behind NextGenCarbon? Find it out here: www.nextgencarbon-project.eu/team/

Read how our project can help to understand European greenhouse gas (GHG)-budget through innovative modelling of the land-based carbon cycle. This will support land management policy decisions to reduce emissions. Find out more in our press release: www.slu.se/en/ew-news/2...

Welcome to follow #NextGenCarbon on our Bluesky! We are excited to announce that our project website www.nextgencarbon-project.eu is officially live. Go and explore! We are a collaboration of Europe's leading climate scientists contributing to the EU's climate change strategies. #NGC #RemoteSensing
