Bilthoven, The Netherlands
3-4 November 1997

The Eighth GEIA Workshop was held at the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), the environmental agency of the Netherlands government. The GEIA workshop was held back-to-back with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Expert Meeting on Methods for the Assessment of Inventory Data Quality on 5-7 November 1997. The IPCC meeting was cosponsored by RIVM on behalf of the Netherlands Centre of Climate Research (CKO) and the WAU/DLO Climate Change and Biosphere Research Programme (CCB).
