CARBON EMISSION Africa's carbon dioxide emissions from use of fossil fuels are low in relation to the rest of the world, however total Africa’s emissions having risen to 839 million metric tonnes of CO2 in 2001 (8 times the level in 1950). Few African nations account for the bulk of the region's fossil fuels emissions: 35 % Algeria, Egypt and Nigeria (combined) 42 % South Africa South Africa was responsible for about 1.2% of the total global warming effect in 1990, which placed it within the top ten contributing countries in the world.

CARBOAFRICA Specific Objectives 1. Consolidate and expand terrestrial carbon and other GHG fluxes monitoring network of Sub-Saharan Africa 2. Provide an analysis of the requirements in order to establish a terrestrial GHG monitoring system for Sub-Saharan Africa 3. Understand quantify and predict the GHG budget of Sub- Saharan Africa and its associated spatial and temporal variability 4. Assess the current land use change and evaluate the potential for carbon sequestration in Sub-Saharan Africa in the context - inter alia - of the Kyoto Protocol

CARBOAFRICA Eddy covariance sites already available in Africa Eddy covariance sites that will be established by CARBOAFRICA stations for atmospheric measurements Flux network: 18 stations, of which 2 new (including the 1 st in an African tropical forest, in Ghana) 2 Atmospheric stations + Airborne campaigns (CARE experiment)
