Tables of the common reporting format and their notes

Notes on the common reporting format

The Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice, at its twenty third session, decided to recommend the following draft decision for adoption by the Conference of the Parties at its eleventh session

Tables of the common reporting format for land use, land use change and forestry

The common reporting format (CRF) is an integral part of the national inventory submission.

The tables of the common reporting format are available in document FCCC CP 2004 10 Add.2, pages 47 61.

However, Annex I Parties that choose not to use any software for completing the CRF would have to provide entries in those cells as well.
