From the GHG Measurement Frontline

This research paper by the World Resources Institute examines the development of sustainable national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory systems in non-Annex I countries, identifying seven emerging good practices based on case studies from Brazil, Colombia, India, Mexico, and South Africa.

• National GHG inventory systems are essential for meeting international reporting requirements and guiding domestic low-carbon strategies, yet many non-Annex I countries lack the capacity to produce regular emissions inventories. This need is heightened by UNFCCC reporting requirements taking effect in 2014 and various domestic mitigation goals.
• Based on case studies from Brazil, Colombia, India, Mexico, and South Africa, the paper identifies seven good practices for building and sustaining national GHG inventory capacity: sustained institutional arrangements; a lead agency to manage the process; sectoral coordinating institutions with clear roles; detailed mandates and data-sharing agreements with work schedules; archiving processes to retain institutional memory; sustained financial resources; and an iterative approach to system improvement.
