CarboNA

MISSION STATEMENT CarboNA (formerly the Joint North American Carbon Program, JNACP) is a joint government-level initiative between Canada, the US and Mexico whose goal is to establish greater cohesion across North America in the fields of carbon pool and greenhouse gas flux dynamics and of carbon related mitigation strategies, through the identification of continental-scale priority issues and promotion of collaborative research in areas of common interest and complementary expertise.

	To understand the temporal and regional distribution and magnitudes of carbon pools and greenhouse gas fluxes throughout North America, and how these affect and are affected by disturbances, human behavior, and climate and related changes, in order to predict future climate change and evaluate carbon related mitigation strategies and new technologies.
