The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto
Protocol, by decision 13/CMP.1, requested the secretariat to begin publishing annual
compilation and accounting reports after completion of the initial review under Article 8 of
the Kyoto Protocol and resolution of any questions of implementation. This report contains:
key initial accounting parameters, based on the reports on the review of the reports to
facilitate the calculation of the assigned amount for the second commitment period of the
Kyoto Protocol, where available; information on transactions and holdings of Kyoto Protocol
units reported in 2017; and data on greenhouse gas emissions for Parties included in Annex
I1 with commitments inscribed in the third column of Annex B in the Doha Amendment to
the Kyoto Protocol as contained in annex I to decision 1/CMP.8. The information contained
in this report is based on both final values (from the reviews of the 2016 annual submissions
and of the reports to facilitate the calculation of the assigned amount for the second
commitment period, where available) and provisional values (from the 2017 annual
submissions and the reports to facilitate the calculation of the assigned amount for the second
commitment period, both as reported by Parties). The final values will be made available
upon completion of the associated reviews and the resolution of any questions of
implementation.
