The Editors Jean Pierre Ometto, Rostyslav Bun, Matthias Jonas and Zbigniew Nahorski are senior scientists coming from different backgrounds. They work for Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research, the Lviv Polytechnic National University in the Ukraine, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria, and the Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Their book shows that uncertainty matters and it is key to many issues related to inventorying and reducing emissions. Dealing proactively with uncertainty allows useful knowledge to be generated that the international community should have to hand before negotiating international successor agreements to the Kyoto Protocol.

• From the Contents: Uncertainties in greenhouse gases inventories – expanding our perspective.- Uncertainty in an emissions-constrained world.- Changes in European greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions 1960–2010: decomposition of determining factors.- Analysis of change in relative uncertainty in GHG emissions from stationary sources for the EU 15.- Compliance for uncertain inventories via probabilistic/fuzzy comparison of alternatives.
