TERRESTRIAL CARBON ACCOUNTING
INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC
PARTNERSHIP (TCAICP)
PROJECT DATA
Country:
China, Indonesia
OBJECTIVE AND ACTIVITIES
The project’s goal is to establish a Terrestrial Carbon
Accounting International Academic Partnership (TCAIAP) to
catalyze, coordinate, and support academic programs in
developing countries in order to teach terrestrial carbon
accounting (TCA) professional development courses.
TCAIAP will support global academic partners by promoting
international best practices in TCA instruction. TCAIAP will
facilitate North-South and South-South academic
cooperation, including sharing teaching modules and
coordinating joint faculty appointments. TCAIAP
implementing partners are independent universities that are
supporting their governments’ work on GHG inventories,
REDD+ reference levels, and forest carbon MRV systems.
The project will learn from pre-existing academic programs,
coordinate efforts to ensure high quality impactful TCA
program delivery, develop synergies with ongoing capacity
building, and build sustained country capacity to teach TCA
to inform and enable emerging REDD+ and related policies.
