The purpose of this template is to help the National Inventory Coordinator (NIC) develop a National Inventory Improvement Plan (NIIP). Every country should have a comprehensive improvement plan including identifying improvements to methods, data, and the inventory system to improve inventory quality over time, including the transparency, consistency, comparability, completeness, and accuracy of subsequent reported national GHG inventories. Beyond identifying improvement projects, the improvement plan should also the assign a priority level to each proposed project.

The purpose of this template is to help you create a complete and accessible archive of your national GHG inventory. The template is also consistent with archiving guidance for future reporting requirements under the Enhanced Transparency Framework¹ (ETF) for National GHG Inventories.

An inventory archive is a collection of information related to the GHG inventory compilation process, reporting, and institutional arrangements. Having easy access to such information will help:

The supporting tool accompanied with this template enables a GHG inventory team to determine key categories of GHG emissions and removals from GHG inventory estimates.

The purpose of this template is to help you, the National Inventory Coordinator (NIC) or key category analysis (KCA) lead, prepare your country’s national GHG inventory. You may use this template with other software or by following the guidance in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.[1]  This template facilitates development of key category analysis consistent with future reporting requirements under the Enhanced Transparency Framework[2] (ETF) for National GHG Inventories.

The purpose of this template is to help countries develop a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) plan for current reporting under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (e.g., Biennial Update Reports) and future required reporting under the Enhanced Transparency Framework[1] (ETF) for National GHG Inventories. It includes a series of tables in which you may record country-specific information about QA/QC activities in order to create a QA/QC plan. It also includes three QA/QC checklists you may use to track progress of the QA/QC work done.

The GHG data repository tool encompasses activity data collection templates for relevant sectors and subsectors.

This template is accompanied by a supporting template for drafting an agreement between a ministry developing GHG estimates and a data provider that is supplying confidential business information (CBI) for the development of GHG estimates.

The purpose of this template is to help inventory compilers document and report the methodologies, datasets (e.g., activity data and emission factors), and assumptions used to estimate emissions and removals from each category in accordance with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and good practice. This template facilitates compiling disaggregated data encouraged in current reporting requirements (e.g., Biennial Update Report).

This document provides a template for drafting a Scope of Work (SOW) that a lead inventory agency may use to develop a solicitation, e.g., Request for Proposal/Terms of Reference (RFP/ToR). The lead inventory agency, upon customizing this SOW to reflect national circumstances, may distribute it to seek a consultant with whom to contract to develop emission/removal estimates for the National GHG Inventory. This document is part of the GHG data repository tool, and may apply to the consultants listed in the completed Template: Institutional Arrangements.

For drafting an agreement between two entities working on a national GHG inventory, such as a ministry developing GHG estimates and a data provider.
