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...

This guidance incorporates and extensively references guidance from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2006 Guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories(IPCC Guidelines)(IPCC, 2006) and 2019 refinement to the 2006 IPCC guidelines (IPCC, 2019). This chapter provides general guidance for collecting existing national/international data and new data. The material is intended bo...

This chapter provides general guidance for collecting existing national/international data and new data. The material is intended both for countries establishing a data collection strategy for the first time and for countries with established data collection procedures. It is applicable to emission factor, activity, and uncertainty data collection. It covers: • Developing a data collection strateg...

This webpage presents the reporting and review requirements Parties to the UNFCCC are subject to under the Convention and Kyoto Protocol through the Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system, and under the Paris Agreement through the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF)....

This slidedeck from a UNECE workshop organised in Armenia in 2015 provides an introduction to emissions inventories, their drivers, international and national policy needs, methodologies and emissions inventories' outputs....

The 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006 Guidelines) were produced at the invitation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to update the Revised 1996 Guidelines and associated good practice guidance which provide internationally agreed methodologies intended for use by countries to estimate greenhouse gas inventories to report to the UN...

Supporting material prepared for consideration by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This supporting material has not been subject to formal IPCC review processes. EFDB is meant to be a recognised library, where users can find emission factors and other parameters with background documentation or technical references that can be used for estimating greenhouse gas emissions and removals...

Here you can find the latest version of the Annexes to the 2023 Guidelines for Estimating and Reporting Emission Data,  information on ISO Country codes, the Notification form to the UNECE Secretariat. Parties should solely use the latest version of all templates.  Annex I: Emissions reporting template – National totals and NFR sector emissions for main pollutants, PM, POPs, HMs and acti...

The EMEP Centre on Emission Inventories and Projections (CEIP) is responsible for coordinating the emission related work of EMEP and contributes to the scientific assessment of air pollution throughout the ECE region and to the evaluation of the implementation of the Protocols of the Convention....
