Status Report

One main process from decision 13/CP.20, para. 4 :

and to select a group of experienced review experts from among the lead reviewers of the

greenhouse gas inventories to conduct an assessment of those data comparisons every five years;”

Status report

Proposal:

When: after 2016 review cycle

Who : group among LRs to be invited

How: discussion via email or VTR

.

Conclusions 12th LR meeting, para. 15:

“The LRs emphasized the need for experience in the use of the new guidelines before being able to

adequately consider the standardized set of data comparisons.”

• Decision13/CP.20, Para. 8Mandate

• To be published on the UNFCCC website as a stand alone document;

Key Features

• Para 15 of 12th LR meeting conclusions => recommendation to circulate a questionnaire

Need for streamlining

(8) - “Requests the secretariat, …, to compile and tabulate aggregate information and trends concerning

greenhouse gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks from the latest available greenhouse gas

inventory submissions of Parties included in Annex I to the Convention, and any other inventory

information, and to publish this information on the UNFCCC website electronically as well as in a stand-

alone document” (para. 8)
