Abstract
The Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI), at its seventh session, requested the secretariat to evaluate the feasibility of compiling and maintaining available supplementary data from authoritative sources on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the purpose of comparison with the national submissions and to present a report on this comparison to its ninth session
(FCCC/SBI/1997/21, para. 11 (d)). The SBI, at its ninth session, took note of the document prepared by the secretariat on an approach to comparison of data on greenhouse gas emissions (FCCC/CP/1998/5) and requested the secretariat to prepare a report on data comparisons to enable Parties to reach a conclusion on the feasibility of data comparisons at the tenth session of the SBI (FCCC/SBI/1998/7, para. 21(e)).This paper responds to the request by elaborating on
approaches for comparisons of GHG inventory data. The paper provides information on the availability of sources of data for possible comparisons and the utility of such comparisons in the context of the UNFCCC. The main focus of this technical paper is to provide background information for the subsidiary bodies. Although, as requested, it provides specific suggestions for further work in its conclusions, it does not provide an outline for work in this area. Parties may wish to read this paper in conjunction with the paper on elements of a review process related to greenhouse gas inventories (FCCC/SBSTA/1999/3), as the two issues are related.1
