 IPCC/OECD/IEA GHG Inventories programme
started 1991
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 Since 1999 IPCC NGGIP (TSU at IGES/Japan)
 Objectives and activities
 to develop and refine an internationally-agreed
methodology and software for the calculation and reporting
of national GHG emissions and removals;
 to encourage the widespread use of this methodology by
countries participating in the IPCC and by Parties of the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC).

Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines
UNEP
 good practice guidance
defined as: inventories that
are neither over nor
underestimates so far as
can be judged, and in which
uncertainties are reduced
as far as practicable
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 Good Practice Guidance for
Land Use, Land-use
Change and Forests Published in 2003

Good Practice Guidance
UNEP
 Approved by IPCC, April 2006,
Mauritius
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 Presented to UNFCCC May 2006
 Published on internet 24 October,
2006
 Main distribution - internet & CD
 Limited printed copied available
 Translated into all UN languages
 Will be further considered
by the UNFCCC in 2007

2006 Guidelines for National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories
UNEP
 1996 Guidelines, GPG 2000 and GPG LULUCF
adopted by UNFCCC for producing inventories of
greenhouse gases for reporting to the UNFCCC
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 Annex 1 parties “shall” use the 1996 revised
guidelines and GPG
 Non-Annex 1 parties “should” use these
guidelines but GPG is “encouraged”
 UNFCCC CRF developed from IPCC guidelines.
 IPCC Software available - now updated by
UNFCCC

IPCC Guidelines & UNFCCC
UNEP
 Accepted by IPCC – they
are the authors’ best
methodologies available.
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 Not yet approved by
UNFCCC for use as a
whole
 However individual
methods can be used
within the 1996/UNFCCC
reporting guidelines
 Non-annex 1 countries can
use them as they are
suitable for all countries
regardless of resources
and experience

2006 Guidelines
UNEP
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 Collection of emission factors and other data to assist
inventory compilers.
 Data reviewed by editorial board to ensure minimum
quality and documentation

 New software for 2006 Guidelines
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 1996 software widely used for inventory compilation and
training
 Many requests for new software.
 Meeting January 2007 to specify software which should be
written in 2007
WMO

Software
UNEP
 Meeting next year to write additional material to
help users and publicise guidelines and encourage
their use
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 Nature of this material to be decided, but generally
to:
 To support users with limited experience
 Publicise the Guidelines
WMO
INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Supporting material
UNEP
 Meeting in January to consider possibilities
and agreed work programme to be
presented to IPCC plenary in April 2007.
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 Potential Activities include
 Supporting material (including training material);
 Extensions/Improvements (eg aerosols, wetlands, HWP,
CCS, use of data from trading schemes & projects, etc.);
 Validation (comparisons with measurements, use of
inverse modelling, etc.);
 Additional national guidelines (e.g. how to do projections);
WMO
INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Future Work Programme
 Continued development of EFDB;
UNEP
 2006 Guidelines completed
NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIES PROGRAMME
 EFDB to support guidelines will be continued and
improved
 New software for guidelines will be produced in
2007
 Additional supporting material will be produced
 Further activities to improve and support these
guidelines will continues from 2008
