^a Estimated greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions reduced or sequestered (in metric tons of CO₂ equivalent) during the lifetime of the project. Some of the values have been revised since document FCCC/CP/1998/2.

^b The AIJ component of this project represents only 11.8% of 727 130 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent reduced by the project.

^c This project absorbed two previously reported activities "CARFIX: Sustainable Forest Management" and "BIODIVERSIFIX"

^d Applying an average of various scenarios regarding the level of the future market penetration of CNG buses, the annual GHG impact is estimated to be 7 400 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent. (20 x 7 400 metric tons = 148 000 metric tons)
