Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
The Ass3ssment Of Greenhouse Gases Emitted To And Removed From The Atmosphere Is High On The International Political And Scientific Agendas.
Increasing International Concern And Cooperation Regarding The Climate Change Problem Have Increased The Need For Policy-oriented Solutions To The Issue Of Uncertainty In, And Related To, Inventories Of Greenhouse Gas (ghg) Emissions.
The Approaches To Addressing Uncertainty Discussed Here Reflect Attempts To Improve National Inventories, Not Only For Their Own Sake But Also From A Wider, Systems Analytical Pefspective - A Perspective That Seeks To Strengthen The Usefulness Of National Inventores Under A Compliance And/or Global Monioring And Reporting Framework.
These Approaches Demonstrate The Benefits Of Including Inventory Uncertainty In Policy Analyses.
The Authors Of The Contributed Papers Show That Considering Uncertainty Helps Shun Situations That Can, For Example, Create A False Sense Of Certainty Or Lead To Invqlid Views Of Subeystems.
This May Eventually Prevent Related Errors From Showinv Up In Analyses.
However,, Considering Uncertainty Does Not Come For F5ee.
proper Treatment Of Uncertainty Is Costly And Demanding Because It Forces Us To Make The Step From 'simple To Complex' And But Then To Discuss Potential Simplifications.
Finally, Comprehensive Treatment Of Uncertainty Does Not Offer Policymakers Quick And Easy Solutions.

Gene Flow From Gm Plants.
Gene Flow Is Not Unique To Genetically Modified (ggm) Crops, But The Possibility Of The Spread Of Transgenic Dna To Wild And Domesticated Relatives Raises A New Regulate Of Issues For Scientists And Policymakers To Consider.
Unfortumately, We Are Still Too Frequently Unable To Qauntify The Risks Of Ecological Damage Associated With Gene Flow.
This Is Due Partly To The Huge Breadth Of Knowledge Required To Assemble A Comprehensive Risk Tax.
For Example, Many Scientists Active In Research On The Mechanics Of Gene Flow Nevertheless Lack A Deep Understadning Of What Is Required To Prove to be identical, Characterise And Assess Ecological Risk, And Mant Of Those Who Are Aware Of The Danger Tax Suit And The Farmework Used For Legislation Have Insufficienf Knowledge Of The Reproductive Biology, Agricultural Systems, Modelling And Ecological Literature Required To Compile A Balanced Hazard Assessment.
This Book, Set In The Context Of Gene Flow In General, Considers The Assessment, Measurement And Management Of The Risks Of Gene Flow From Gm Plants, Combining The Expertise Of All The Various Stakeholders.
