Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting can calculate direct or indirect GHG emissions, which may be used for internal reporting or enterprise carbon accounting.

About a third of reporting Parties also reported on measures to abate GHG emissions in the agriculture and waste sectors.

The investment made over the past several years has paid off in substantive improvements in greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories and reporting.

During this time, Parties and the secretariat have accumulated extensive experience in the reporting and review of national communications and GHG inventories.

At present, Annex I Parties are moving towards using a new inventory reporting software (the common reporting format (CRF) reporter), developed by the secretariat to facilitate the submission of GHG inventory data in accordance with previously adopted guidelines and requirements.

Developing and maintaining the GHG information system

Therefore GHG emissions from this subsector will grow.

Resources for supporting the review of GHG inventories

They also present potential co benefits for GHG abatement.

The CGE discussed the outcomes of the hands on training workshop on GHG inventories held in China, and recommended the following to improve future GHG inventory workshops

A need was expressed for equipment for monitoring GHG and climate.

They believe that these measures will result in reduction of growth of GHG emissions.

A range of other measures clearly delivers sustainable development as well as GHG benefits.

We have selected three widely discussed methods of allocating GHG emission quotas to different countries

The Renewables 2004 conference generated about 3,500 tonnes of GHG (1.44 tonnes CO2 equivalent participant).

Transport is considered a major sector that will contribute to the growth of GHG emissions.

The SBI noted that such documents should also include additional information on net' GHG emissions.

Twenty four GHG inventory reviews and 18 in depth reviews of national communications are scheduled.

Record of progress and review of the pilot activity A yearly inventory could be prepared to keep track of the GHG emissions of COP and subsidiary body sessions, taking into account existing guidelines and standards for preparing GHG inventories for organizations.

Estimation of emission reduction Some Parties included an assessment of the impacts of measures on GHG emissions.

Annex I Parties are required to submit a national GHG inventory by 15 April of each year.

7 National GHG inventories are referred to simply as inventories in these guidelines for the sake of brevity.

Research on mitigation included research on new energy sources and renewable energy, energy efficiency, and GHG abatement technologies.

Lead reviewers also discussed technical issues that have arisen in the review of GHG inventories, including review of a GHG inventory that is a compiled from different national inventories, and the assessment of the choice of methods used in the preparation of an inventory estimate.

The maintenance and further development of the GHG information system require greater expertise in software development and database management.

As these emissions are considered as part of the GHG emissions of the session they may be offset twice.

Most Parties, however, emphasized that climate change measures, particularly on GHG abatement, are primarily aimed at addressing energy needs.
