Description
The Report presents an overview of the Roundtable on “Monitoring GHG Emissions in APEC: Space-based Solutions”, held on 14 March 2025, under the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development. It outlines key discussions, policy recommendations, and technological insights shared by representatives from government agencies, international organizations (including UNOOSA and UNESCAP), academia, and the private sector from Indonesia; Thailand; and Russia.
The report highlights the potential of space-based Earth observation technologies to improve the accuracy, transparency, and consistency of greenhouse gas monitoring across the APEC region. Special attention is given to the importance of enhancing regional cooperation and capacity-building in supporting science-based policymaking and climate action.
The Report was prepared within the framework of the project PPSTI 01 2022S “APEC Technological Solutions for Monitoring GHG Emissions”, carried out under the auspices of the Policy Partnership on Science, Technology and Innovation (PPSTI) of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.
