DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, 175 parties agreed to ambitious greenhouse gas reduct
 ions under the UNFCCC Paris agreement\, yet estimates of greenhouse gas em
 issions and uptake by carbon sinks remain uncertain. The capability to ver
 ify emissions reductions at sub-national to national scale and guide carbo
 n mitigation policy is urgently needed to support climate mitigation.\n\nA
 tmospheric greenhouse gas measurements have a key role to play in supporti
 ng our transition to a low carbon world. The amount of greenhouse gases st
 ored in the atmosphere is the by far the most well-known component of gree
 nhouse gas budgets due to precise\, accurate greenhouse gas records from a
  global network that comprises more than 400 stations\, supported by over 
 80 nations.  When these observations are combined with atmospheric transpo
 rt models that link the emissions to atmospheric mixing ratios\, they can 
 be used to infer greenhouse gas emissions and uptake through atmospheric i
 nverse modelling.\n\nAotearoa New Zealand has developed one of the first n
 ational scale atmospheric inverse modelling systems\, and the first to tac
 kle carbon dioxide.  Here\, I will share what we have learned about our ca
 rbon dioxide and methane balance\, how our findings are supporting the New
  Zealand’s transition to zero carbon\, and our new partnership with Harv
 ard University to work with MethaneSAT.
