Training to use the software tool: SHERPA Java/Python software tool (Screening for High Emission Reduction Potential on Air). SHERPA allows for rapid exploration of potential air quality improvements resulting from national/regional/local emission reduction measures. The tool has been developed with the aim of supporting national, regional, and local authorities in the design and assessment of their air quality plans. It has been developed by JRC-Ispra.

The online workshop aims at • Evaluating the outcome of an inter-laboratory comparison study and use it as a use case • Facilitating participants’ knowledge gain about strengths and limitations of the various analysis methods • Identifying mistakes and discuss solutions to avoid them in future • Discussing suitable strategies on how to avoid cross-contamination, prepare samples for analysis and chose a suitable analysis technique  • Enabling the exchange between scientists who are experienced in the field and scientists with less experience.

The Course will guide you through the Global Covenant of Mayor's initiative, with insights into the methodology and its key requirements. You will learn how cities can reduce their emissions, increase their resilience and equality, and how to deliver into practice their local climate ambition.
