Lisa Hanle
Fellow
Lisa has worked professionally on climate change since the late 1990’s. She is particularly active in all issues related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting, review and accounting at the project, facility, corporate, national and international levels. She has represented both the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat and the U.S. Government in the climate negotiations, including in support of the adoption and implementation of the Paris Agreement. Recognizing the importance of preparing all countries to participate in the Paris Agreement, she is interested in in opportunities to convey lessons learned on GHG inventory development to all developed and developing countries, work also undertaken while at GHGMI between 2016-2019.
Key highlights of her career include: serving as a Lead Author for the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories; being a member of the core U.S. EPA team responsible for developing the mandatory U.S. Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program; serving as team lead at the UNFCCC to help coordinate adoption of decision 5/CMA.3 to operationalize the modalities procedures and guidelines for the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF); and most recently her efforts to facilitate interoperability between the IPCC Inventory Software and the ETF reporting tool.
In 2018, she was invited by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to be a committee author for a study on methane emissions in the United States, and again invited as a reviewer for another study in 2022. She is on the UNFCCC’s roster of experts and served on the reviews / technical analyses of GHG inventories, biennial reports and biennial update reports. Recently, in late 2023, she was invited to be a member of the ICAT Advisory Committee.
