Development of Business Proposal of Accredited Training in Advanced Terrestrial Carbon Accounting in China

Transcription

1 AFIP Terrestrial Carbon Accounting International Academic Partnership(TCAIAP) Development of Business Proposal of Accredited Training in Advanced Terrestrial Carbon Accounting in China Presented by Gao Jinping Academy of Forest Inventory and Planning, State Forestry Administration (AFIP,SFA,P.R.China ) (Forest Carbon Accounting and Monitoring Center, SFA,P.R.China ) Nov 8 th, 2017

2 Academy of Forest Inventory and Planning (AFIP) Founded in 1954, AFIP is an scientific and technical institution directly under State Forestry Administration. Staff: 300+; Professor: 53; Engaged in forest resources and ecological environment monitoring and assessment, forestry planning and design, forestry information management. involving monitoring and assessment of forest, wetlands, desertification, wildlife and plant.

3 Academy of Forest Inventory and Planning (AFIP) AFIP s Work for Terrestrial Carbon Accounting

4 Forest Carbon Accounting and Monitoring System China has constructed national forest carbon accounting and monitoring system since ,400 plots (4km 4km) were sampled to estimate the carbon stock and carbon change caused by land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF).

5 Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon Inventory Satellite (TECIS) TECIS to be launched in The first LIDAR satellite to observe forest height, biomass in China. it will play an important role in supporting forestry to address climate change and forest resources monitoring and evaluation.

6 What we are doing Our Team Dr. Liu Dr. Fu prof. Gao,project manager Dr. Sun Dr. Gao

7 Overview of Key Work 1 A professional team with high quality 2 Three agencies co-held the certificate program 3 TCAIAP Our Goal 4 Scoping study 5 Curriculum and Plan

8 Three Agencies co-held the certificate program FCAMC organize and manage the training sessions. CFEA will help to accrediting the course.. STAFA support the TCA Certificate program, such as teaching and accommodation facilities. Mr.Gao and Mr. Li Zhongping, chief of CFEA, signed the MOU.

9 TCAIAP Our Goal 01 Through investigation, master China s TCA needs, gaps, and TCA Certificate opportunities 02 Build high quality, comprehensive curriculum tailored to China s circumstances. 03 Through training, enhance carbon accounting capacity at national & provincial levels. 04 With GHG management institute s reputation and experience, develop and run nationallytailored TCA certificates, using best practices, with well-trained faculty and carefully practiced courses

10 Scoping study Baselines inventory: TCA training covers six thematic areas: policy context, GIS and RS, IPCC guidelines/land classification, field methods, TCA statistics, communication of results. We inventoried 12 universities, academies and institutions in China.,such as Beijing Forestry University, Peking University, Chinese Academy of forestry. Generally speaking, the courses of TCA are not popular in the institutions. Gaps survey: A questionnaire was designed to figure out interviewees or potential students needs of TCA, especially government Paris Agreement needs. All interviewees agree the TCA Certificates should train future technicians for terrestrial carbon accounting and monitoring.

11 Curriculum The key of this certificate: the 6 curriculums Phase Curriculums Development Training Key Finished preliminary development before the end of Feb 2018 Finish all curriculums before the end of May 2018 Totally 80 hours, include 45 h on-line and 35 h face-to-face training. The first training session is completed by Aug 31rd 2018, over 20 students. The second training is completed by Dec 31rd 2019, over 20 students.

12 Curriculum Face-to-Face Courses Design No Courses(6) Topics(more than 20) 1 Science and Policy context 2 3 IPCC Guidelines and Land Use GIS/RS Global climate change, international climate negotiations, Forestry response and adaption to the Climate Change, Carbon Market, National Park in China/Health town LULUCF,REDD+;Development of Forestry Carbon in Major Countries and China; Methodologies for Project-level TCA in China How to use RS/GIS/GPS and new technologies(such as big data, Internet of things, UAV, beidou navigation) in Forestry monitoring and Analysis; forestry satellites in China

13 Curriculum No. Courses Topics Practical method for Forest Inventory in China; Application of new technology; 4 Field method some important field investigations in China: Allometric Model of Main Tree, Forestland conservation use planning, Understory Vegetation and Soil Investigation for TCA; 5 Statistics and R Practical Statistics method: Sampling, statistical distribution, Error Analysis and uncertainty; R language and related tools for TCA 6 Face-to-Face Courses Design Communication of TCA result Report Compilation for National Green House Gas Bulletin and Forestry CCER Project in China

14 We had a good foundation in the early days and believed that the follow-up would be better! 2016 CA USA 2016 Beijing The Cop 22,Morocco, Hangzhou China.
