Behaviour Change Approaches to Tackle Stubble Burning at Scale

Crop residue (stubble) burning in northwest India remains one of the most visible contributors to the region’s severe seasonal air pollution, accounting for up to 30–35 per cent of Delhi’s PM2.5 during the October–November peak. Since 2018, the Crop Residue Management (CRM) scheme has made real progress, with more than INR 2229.38 crore being disbursed, providing 1.5 lakh machines and 27,083 Custo...

Toolkit: Supplementary Document to the Guidelines for Designing a Communication, Awareness-Raising, and Public Engagement Strategy on Air Quality and Health

Air quality and health are profoundly human issues: they affect all of us, without distinction. However, communicating about them is not always easy. Technical information may seem distant, messages may not reach the right audience, and solutions lose strength if they are not translated into concrete and sustained actions.This practical manual was created to accompany the technical teams of the Ce...

Guidelines for Designing a Communication, Awareness-Raising, and Public Engagement Strategy on Air Quality and Health

What is this Guide?Air pollution is one of the most pressing public health challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean. More than 172 million people across the region — including nearly 12 million children and 14 million older adults — are exposed to pollution levels that exceed the guidelines set by the World Health Organization. More than 35,000 deaths per year in the region are estimated to b...

Chapter 6: Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Verification (2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories)

An important goal of IPCC inventory guidance is to support the development of national greenhouse gas inventories that can be readily assessed in terms of quality. It is good practice to implement quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) and verification procedures in the development of national greenhouse gas inventories to accomplish this goal. The procedures as described in this chapter also s...

Chapter 3: Uncertainties (2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories)

This chapter provides guidance on estimating and reporting uncertainties associated with both annual estimates of emissions and removals, and emission and removal trends over time. It also explains why uncertainty assessment is a useful means of improving emission inventories. This guidance is written primarily for inventory compilers and provides, with examples, two approaches for combining categ...

2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories: Overview

The 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006 IPCC Guidelines) which were published in 2006 provide methodologies for estimating national inventories of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases. This IPCC Methodology Report titled the 2019 Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2019 Refinement) wa...

Promoting accuracy in GHG inventories through use of higher-tier methods: A practical guide for LDCs and other developing countries

A core requirement of the Paris Agreement is for countries to report on their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the action they will take to reduce them. Equipped with more accurate emission inventories, countries can make informed decisions around how to reduce their emissions, including which sectors to focus on.This new toolkit supports decision makers and inventory compilers from least develo...

Reporting of Black Carbon emissions: A comparison of data submitted under the Air Convention and alternative datasets

Black carbon (BC) is a key short-lived climate forcer and an air pollutant with significant impacts on human health. Although reporting of BC emissions remains voluntary under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution, 42 Parties submitted BC data in 2024. This report assesses the completeness, methodological consistency and comparability of reported BC emissions and compares nation...
