The ITU Teleco
12、mmunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization As

The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology w
14、hich fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

22、Principles for GHG accounting and reporting . 19 Bibliography. 20 iv Y series Supplement 22 (06/2013) Introduction Climate change has been a major concern for many years. Concerns relate to changes in the weather from what has been the average weather based on empirical data, as well as changes in t
23、he distribution of weather events with respect to an average, greater, or smaller number of extreme weather events. It is man-made climate change which results from the release of GHG (primarily carbon-based emissions), that is of major concern because it appears to be leading to a progressive and a
24、ccelerated warming of the planet. One of the main ways in which ICTs can contribute to reducing GHG emissions is through their use in programmes which are implemented to monitor climate change and measure GHG emissions. GHG emissions can be measured by sensors on the ground, in the air, in vehicles,
25、 on tall towers and in aircraft. Sensors for measuring GHG emissions can be used to form a sensor network. Sensor networks created to monitor and measure GHG emissions, known as GHG sensor networks (GSN), could provide measured data which can be captured and placed into an inventory and may then be
26、provided to service providers. The processed and captured GHG-related data could be appropriately formatted and then provided to users located anywhere in the world using the NGN, which is a global infrastructure. This supplement describes the service model and scenarios for a GHG monitoring service
27、 over an NGN that has an interactive real-time reporting capability and which can cover a wide geographical area such as a mountain, a farmers field, a large forest, a sea, an industrial area or a rural area using GHG sensor networks.

47、vided over the NGN In order to resolve the issue of GHG emissions causing climate changes, it is essential to consider GHG monitoring services, as the processed and captured GHG-related data could be appropriately formatted and then be provided to users located anywhere in the world using an NGN as
48、the global infrastructure, and in the form of a GHG inventory. GHG inventories are a type of emission inventory that is an account of the amount of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere. They usually contain the total emissions for one or more specific greenhouse gases or air pollutants, origina
49、ting from all sources within a certain geographical area and within a specified time span, usually a specific year. A GHG inventory is generally characterized by the following aspects: the types of activities that cause emissions; the chemical or physical identity of the pollutants included; the geographical area covered; the time period over which emissions are monitored and the methodology used. GHG inventories can be used for both scientific applications and policy processes. Scientists
