SEPARATING
HUMAN IMPACT
FROM THE NATURAL
CARBON CYCLE
A new initiative to explore the development of
a European system to monitor human activity
related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across the
world. The CO2 Human Emissions (CHE) project
brings together a consortium of 22 European
partners and will last for over 3 years.
About
INTRODUCTION
ECMWF is leading a new initiative to explore the development of a European system to monitor human activity related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across the world.

STRUCTURE
To tackle the challenges of an integrated system on a global scale, it is paramount to identify the complementarity between observations, modelling and data assimilation methodologies.

CONSORTIUM
The CHE project consortium is comprised of 22 partners from eight European countries (United Kingdom, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy).
