The REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes Phase 2 (RECCAP-2) project is coordinated by the Global Carbon Project and has the following objectives:
1.) To improve quantification of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and their sources;
2.) To develop robust observation-based estimates of changes in carbon storage and greenhouse gas emissions and sinks by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems, distinguishing whenever possible anthropogenic versus natural fluxes and their driving processes;
3.) To gain science-based evidence of the response of marine and terrestrial regional greenhouse gas budgets to climate change and direct anthropogenic drivers.
