From the GHG Measurement Frontline

The document outlines seven good practices for non-Annex I countries to build and sustain national GHG inventory systems to meet UNFCCC reporting requirements and domestic climate goals, based on experiences from Brazil, Colombia, India, Mexico, and South Africa.

• Non-Annex I countries face capacity constraints in producing regular GHG emission inventories despite the necessity of this data for global climate action and new UNFCCC reporting requirements effective in 2014.
• Based on case studies from Brazil, Colombia, India, Mexico, and South Africa, the paper identifies seven good practices for sustaining national GHG inventory systems: sustained institutional arrangements; a lead agency to manage the process; sectoral coordinating institutions with defined roles; detailed mandates and data-sharing agreements with schedules; archiving processes for institutional memory; sustained financial resources; and an iterative improvement approach.
