National inventory submissions 2016

National Inventory Submissions 2016

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 2016 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 2016 submission please refer to the individual Status Report available, once published by the secretariat, in the table’s last column. Further information on GHG emissions and removals data from Parties can be accessed via the GHG data interface.

Supplementary information submitted in accordance with the Guidelines for the preparation of information required under Article 7, paragraph 1, of the Kyoto Protocol by Annex I Parties to the Kyoto Protocol included in the submissions of the NIR and CRF can be accessed from the respective columns of the table below. Information on Kyoto Protocol units submitted in 2016 can be accessed from the column titled Standard Electronic Format.

The report to facilitate the calculation of the assigned amount for the second commitment period, submitted by Annex I Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, will, once available, be published on a separate webpage.

This webpage contains the 2016 submissions of GHG inventories from Annex I Parties. The common reporting format (CRF) tables of the submission 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.

The UNFCCC secretariat made available in 2015 several successive releases of the software to address the issues related to performance, data entry, data aggregations and key known issues relating to the correct display of data in the CRF tables. On 2 November 2016, the UNFCCC secretariat has made available an updated version of the CRF Reporter (V6.0.0). This version includes the resolution of all known issues in the reporting tables. The current status of the CRF tables as produced by the CRF Reporter is shown in the “markup tables” here. The tables show the few remaining issues in the reporting tables.

Notes
(1) All submissions received from Parties are posted “as received”. The publication of Party submissions on this website does not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the UNFCCC or the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries as may be referred to in any of the submissions.

(2) Estonia submitted the latest version of their CRF tables on 15 June 2016, however the Party requested not to publish the submission on the secretariat webpage. GHG emissions information can be found in Estonia's 2016 NIR.

(3) Finland requested that the following note accompany their CRF tables, submitted on 15 April 2016:
“Finland submitted its CRF tables despite the fact that the CRF Reporter is still not fully functional. Finland has identified and corrected many errors with the aim that the aggregated emissions would be displayed correctly in the CRF tables. Finland have not been able to correct all deficiencies in the CRF tables and some may not have been identified.”

(4) The Russian Federation requested the secretariat to publish their Statement with regard to Ukraine’s Annual National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report for the period 1990-2014. The statement is available in pdf-icon English (190 kB) and Russian (189 kB) .
