Just over 20 years ago the Global Carbon Project (GCP) was created to bring together a global consortium of scientists to establish a common and mutually agreed understanding of the Earth carbon cycle.
Its aim was to use this knowledge to influence policy action to slow down and ultimately stop the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Dr Josep Canadell has been the GCP's Executive Director since its inception in 2001 and remains a pivotal member of the consortium along with many other leading scientists from around the world. It is a Global Research Project of Future Earth and a research partner of the World Climate Research Programme.
To help realise its aim, the GCP has produced the Global Carbon Budget (GCB). The GCB tracks the trends in global carbon emissions and sinks and is a key measure of progress to towards the goals of the Paris Agreement. You can read more about the GCB on the main website.
