Hungary joins ICOS

EVENTS

Hungary invests in climate research, joining ICOS, the European greenhouse gas observation network.

ICOS, the Integrated Carbon Observation System, strengthens its presence in Central Europe with Hungary joining the greenhouse gas measurement network. The ICOS research infrastructure, which will be funded by 14 European countries after Hungary has joined, measures greenhouse gases across the European continent and the adjacent oceans.

Measuring greenhouse gases is important, since excessive amounts of these gases are released into the atmosphere due to fossil fuel use, agriculture, and other human activity, and that warms up the atmosphere. Climate change will have harsh consequences for the nature and for people, if not curbed early enough.

“Hungary is committed to climate protection. It is a small but relevant step in our efforts that Hungarian measurement stations will be integrated into this important European network. ICOS verification for Hungarian measurements provides us with a widely accepted standard. Moreover, Hungary can be supported by the science and the knowledge generated by ICOS on greenhouse gases when making decisions aiming to decrease carbon emissions,” said György Urkuti, the Ambassador of Hungary to Finland, while visiting an ICOS research station in Hyytiälä in Central Finland recently.
