The Global Carbon Project launched the Urban and Regional Carbon Management (URCM) Initiative in 2005. URCM is a place-based and policy-relevant scientific initiative aimed to support carbon management and sustainable urban development. The first international conference of URCM entitled First International Conference on Carbon Management at Urban and Regional Levels was held from 4-8 September 2006 in Mexico City. The conference has given GCP the mandate to coordinate and develop this important area.  GCP is one of the joint projects of the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP). |
