Corrigendum

Note by the interim secretariat

The secretariat has received corrections regarding some of the information, primarily on the projections tables, given for Belgium, Finland and France in document FCCC/CP/1995/Inf.4. In response, a complete set of revised projection tables are reproduced herewith, introduced by a revised paragraph 8 that summarizes the changes made to the projections section. The corrections are:

Page 2, paragraph 1 (continued), The sentence starting "Belgium, although ...." should read:

"Belgium, although not yet a Party, has also submitted its communication".

Page 3, paragraph 8 should read (changes in boldface):

8. Two Parties with economies in transition projected lower emissions in 2000 than in their base years. Their projections followed the same pattern as that for the country in transition in document A/AC.237/81 -- a major reduction until the mid-1990s and growth thereafter. An approximate stabilisation of CO2 emissions was projected by one

country , while projections from seven communications showed a growth of these emissions. Four Parties projected emissions (removals) from the landuse change and forestry sector: three projected increasing removals and one, a range including increasing as well as decreasing removals. Four Parties projected major reductions in CH4 emissions, while two projected stable emissions. Three Parties projected a growth in their N2O emissions, while three others projected a decline. Of those three, one projected growth for only part of its emissions. When estimates are aggregated using 1994 GWPs, two countries show declining emissions, two approximate stabilization, while six show increasing emissions both with and without landuse change and forestry.
