3 (c). Report on national greenhouse gas inventory data from Parties included in Annex I to the Convention for the period 1990–2015
Abstract

All 43 Parties included in Annex I to the Convention (Annex I Parties) submitted their
greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory common reporting format (CRF) tables and national
inventory reports in 2017. By the deadline of 15 April 2017, CRF tables from 36 Parties and
national inventory reports from 35 Parties had been received. Over the period 1990–2015,
total aggregate GHG emissions without emissions and removals from land use, land-use
change and forestry (LULUCF) for all Annex I Parties decreased by 12.9 per cent, while total
GHG emissions and removals with LULUCF decreased by 17.9 per cent. For Annex I Parties
with economies in transition, GHG emissions without and with LULUCF decreased by 38.3
per cent and 48.5 per cent, respectively. For Annex I Parties that do not have economies in
transition, GHG emissions without and with LULUCF decreased by 0.7 per cent and 2.1 per
cent, respectively. The information in this document is based on information in the national
GHG inventory submissions of Annex I Parties received as at 6 September 2017. At the time
of the publication of this document, the annual review process for GHG inventories from
Annex I Parties was still ongoing; therefore, the data included in this document may not
reflect the latest information provided by Parties. The latest GHG inventory data are available
on the UNFCCC website.
