The Asia-Pacific GAW Greenhouse Gas Workshop (APGG) is a key international platform that brings together scientists, researchers, and WMO/GAW station operators to advance greenhouse gas (GHG) measurement and research across the Asia-Pacific region. Since its establishment, APGG has played a crucial role in strengthening the regional GHG observation network, enhancing research capabilities, and fostering collaboration among atmospheric scientists.

Objectives of APGG

• Sharing Research & Measurement Results – Presenting the latest findings on GHG trends, emissions, and atmospheric monitoring techniques.
• Improving Measurement Networks – Strengthening cooperation among WMO/GAW stations to enhance data accuracy and consistency.
• Building a Collaborative Research Network – Connecting experts to promote joint studies and capacity-building initiatives.
• Enhancing Research Capabilities – Supporting the scientific community through knowledge exchange and technical discussions.

Workshop Highlights

• Scientific Presentations – Updates on GHG measurement methodologies, data analysis, and modeling techniques.
• WMO/GAW Station Reports – Status updates from monitoring stations across the Asia-Pacific region.
• Technical Discussions – Focus on calibration, inter-comparisons, and quality assurance of GHG observations.
• Collaboration Sessions – Strengthening regional networks and research partnerships.
