This note contains the annotated draft of the revised "Guidelines for the preparation of national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention, Part I: UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories" (UNFCCC Annex I reporting guidelines), in response to a request made by the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) at its thirty-second session. The annotated draft of the revised UNFCCC Annex I reporting guidelines is based on Parties' submissions under the work programme to revise the UNFCCC Annex I reporting guidelines under the SBSTA, and on guidance provided by Parties at the thirty-third session of the SBSTA and by workshop participants during the third workshop under the aforementioned work programme. The secretariat, in response to a request made by the SBSTA at its thirty-second session, prepared an annotated draft of the UNFCCC Annex I reporting guidelines for consideration by the participants in the above-mentioned workshop, held in Bonn, Germany, on 24-25 March 2011. This note has been prepared to facilitate the consideration by the SBSTA, at its thirty-fourth session, of the annotated draft of the revised UNFCCC Annex I reporting guidelines. Due to the complexity of the CRF tables and the importance of colour coding in the CRF tables, they are not included in this document but can be downloaded from the UNFCCC web site:
