Abstract
Under the Paris Agreement (PA), progress of emission reduction efforts is tracked on the basis of regular updates to national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, referred to as bottom-up estimates. However, only top-down atmospheric measurements can provide observation-based evidence of emission trends. Today, there is no internationally agreed, operational capacity to monitor anthropogenic GHG emission trends using atmospheric measurements to complement national bottom-up inventories. The European Commission (EC), the European Space Agency, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, and international exp..

Studies are conducted in preparation for a European capacity to monitor CO, anthropogenic emissions under the Coordination and Support Action H2020 -E0-3-2017 with project CHE (CO, Human Emissions) and under the Research and Innovation Action H2020-SC5-4-2017 with project VERIFY (Observation -based monitoring and verification of greenhouse gases). The CHF and VERIFY projects have received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreements 776186 and 776810, respectively.
