The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C, while ensuring the climate resilience and sustainability of food production systems. This is an enormous challenge, and its success depends on the implementation of climate policies at the national level and the commitment of all countries and sectors, with an increasingly important role for agriculture and forestry (AFOLU).Against this background, the pan-European Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs) "Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change" (FACCE-JPI) and "Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe" (JPI Climate) have been collaborating in order to identify opportunities to produce the knowledge needed to improve national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories from agriculture and associated land use to the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement reporting and accounting processes. National GHG inventories are central to climate policy and their ongoing development is a key science-policy interface. This is recognized in the Tier system used to categorise elements of the national inventories. Tier 1 is based on international/regional default data provided by the IPCC, whereas Tier 3 is based on the best available science. Tier 2 is an intermediate stage in which national data are used to determine GHG emissions and removals, through methodology that is internationally agreed upon by IPCC1.In the context of this collaboration, FACCE-JPI and JPI Climate organised a workshop on the use of emerging science to improve agricultural GHG inventories for the UNFCCC reporting, which took place in Brussels, on 19 and 20 October 2022. The workshop brought together around 50 participants – national inventory compilers, agricultural emissions experts, and policy makers – to discuss the state of the art, research needs, and the use of emerging science to improve agricultural GHG
