The annually published Global Carbon Budget is a report produced by a community researchers to announce a global carbon budget quantifying carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for the prior year. The report determines the input of CO2 to the atmosphere by emissions from human activities, balanced by output (storage) in the carbon reservoirs on land or in the ocean. Thanks to the Global Carbon Budget, the research community can better understand and monitor the global carbon cycle, while the report provides a highly valuable resource within a climate policy framework.
The Global Carbon Budget is done by the researchers of the Global Carbon Project (GCP), including scientists from the ICOS community. The Global Carbon Budget relies on a lot of contributed data from many data sources among which is ICOS data made available here at Carbon Portal and through different global data networks, such as the World Meteorological Organization's Global Atmosphere Watch (WMO GAW), FLUXNET and Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT).
