2014 GIR Training Program for GHG Inventory & Mitigation Modeling

* Introduction of GIR
Greenhouse Gas Inventory & Research Center of Korea (GIR), a
government institute aliated with Korean Ministry of Environment,
serves as a think-tank on GHG inventory & mitigation. GIR
manages the National GHG Management System, supports
establishing national & sectoral GHG reduction targets and
conducts research on GHG mitigation modeling. For global
networking and cooperation, GIR organizes Cooperative Green
Growth Modeling Forum (C2GMF) and International Modeling
Conference (IMC) as well as its unique training program.

* GIR Training Program
GIR has been running an international training program on GHG
inventory & mitigation modeling to nurture global GHG experts
since 2011. During the three-to-four week program, Korean
trainees will be provided quality lectures of international experts
and opportunities to network with other international trainees
