National inventory submissions 2015

National Inventory Submissions 2015

At its eighth session, the Conference of the Parties requested the secretariat to publish on its web site the annual inventory submissions consisting of the national inventory report (NIR) and common reporting format (CRF) of all Parties included in Annex I to the Convention. The NIRs contain detailed descriptive and numerical information and the CRF tables contain all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals, implied emission factors and activity data.

The NIRs and CRF tables can be downloaded from the table below. The NIRs and CRF tables provided here are the most recent versions of the 2015 submissions provided by Annex I Parties. The dates of the original submissions are indicated in the table. For information on the completeness of a Party’s 2015 submission please refer to the individual Status Report available, once published by the secretariat, in the last column of the table below. The secretariat also has further information on GHG emissions and removals data from Parties at the GHG data interface.

Submission of supplementary information in accordance with the Guidelines for the preparation of information required under Article 7, paragraph 1, of the Kyoto Protocol by Annex I Kyoto Protocol Parties, as available, is reflected in the last column of the table below.

In accordance with the Guidelines for the preparation of information required under Article 7 of the Kyoto Protocol, the secretariat compiles information on minimization of adverse impacts in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 14, of the Kyoto Protocol, that is reported by Annex I Parties in their NIRs.

2015 Annex I Parties GHG Inventory Submissions

This webpage contains the 2015 submissions of GHG inventories from Annex I Parties. The common reporting format (CRF) tables of the submission should be prepared using the CRF Reporter software. Following the adoption of the revised guidelines for reporting GHG inventories from Annex I Parties (decision 24/CP.19), this software had to be redesigned. Decision 13/CP.20 recognized that the deadline, as set out in decision 24/CP.19, paragraph 5 (June 2014), for providing the redesigned version of the CRF Reporter to Annex I Parties, enabling them to submit their greenhouse gas inventories, was not met and that the CRF Reporter version available by that time (version 5.0.0) was not functioning. Accordingly, decision 13/CP.20 reiterated that “Annex I Parties in 2015 may submit their common reporting format tables after 15 April, but no longer than the corresponding delay in the CRF Reporter availability”.

In order to enable Parties to start the preparation and the compilation of their GHG inventories, the UNFCCC secretariat made available in 2015, several successive releases of the software, in January, March, April, May, June, September 2015. These releases addressed the issues relating to performance, data entry, data aggregations and key known issues relating to the correct display of data in the CRF tables. On 27 November, the UNFCCC secretariat has made available an updated version of the CRF Reporter (V5.12.0). This version includes the implementation of the recalculation functionality as well as improvements in the display of reporting tables , with a particular focus on the KP LULUCF tables. The current status of the CRF tables as produced by the CRF Reporter is shown in the “markup tables” here. The tables show, in particular, where all known key issues have been resolved and where further residual work is still required. UNFCCC secretariat is actively working on resolving the remaining issues with the software.

As a result of this situation, the 2015 submission by some Parties of their GHG inventories is delayed.
