REPORT OF THE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP FOR TRAINING NATIONAL EXPERTS ON THE GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) AND BLACK CARBON INVENTORY IN THE WASTE SECTOR IN CÔTE D’IVOIRE

The workshop, conducted by the Stockholm Environment Institute and partners, focused on the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for GHG inventories and the EMEP/EEA guidebook for short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). Participants were trained in using IPCC software (version 2.691) and Excel worksheets to estimate emissions from waste sources, including solid waste disposal and open burning. The training emphasized the requirements of the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework, specifically the submission of Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR) by December 31, 2024.

• The workshop aimed to improve national experts' understanding of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP), their sources, and their relationship to GHG emissions and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
• Under the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), parties must submit a Biennial Transparency Report (BTR) containing a national inventory of anthropogenic GHG emissions and removals by sinks, with the first reports due by December 31, 2024.
• The training focused on the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories, specifically Volume 5, which covers the waste sector including solid waste disposal, biological treatment, incineration, open burning, and wastewater treatment.
• Participants were trained on IPCC software version 2.691, which supports Tier 1 and 2 methods and allows for the use of both IPCC default emission factors and country-specific values.
• Because there are no internationally agreed methodologies for SLCP inventories, the IPCC and Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) suggest using air pollutant inventory methodologies, such as the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook.
• Practical exercises involved estimating GHG and SLCP emissions from the open burning of municipal solid waste using activity data from Benin and IPCC default emission factors.
