This page provides access to predefined GHG emissions/removals data from Annex I Parties. Each table contains a time series for the selected GHG category for all Annex I Parties. The time series covers the base year and the period from 1990 to the latest available inventory year. The data on GHG emissions presented here are only from Annex I Parties because GHG data for the majority of Non-Annex I Parties are not available for all years of the time series.

The user has the option to export/ download the data in Excel spreadsheet format, which contains data for each year of the entire time series. However, on the web interface data are displayed at 5-year intervals, as well as the latest two inventory years.

This page provides access to "GHG profiles" for individual Annex I and non-Annex I Parties, as well as for the major subgroups within Annex I (all Annex I taken together, EIT and non-EIT). A "GHG profile" is a 2-4 page summary of most representative GHG data (at the level of national totals) for a Party. The GHG profile for a Party contains the following elements:

• Data table;
• Graph with the trends for GHG totals;
• Graph with sectoral changes in GHG emissions;
• Graph with the GHG shares by gas;
• Graph with the GHG shares by sector.

The user has the option to access the data either in PDF and/or Excel format.

This page provides access to "Detailed GHG data" for individual Annex I and non-Annex I Parties, as well as to data on total emissions/removals for the European Union and several groups of Parties, such as Annex I EIT Parties taken together, Annex I non-EIT Parties taken together, and all Annex I Parties taken together. “Detailed GHG data” mean that data are presented for the subcategories of the selected category.

The data are displayed in tabular format depending on the options that the user chooses. The user has the option to display the data in graphical format as well. (Note: if there are any negative values for the chosen set of data, then it will not be possible to display the data in a pie chart).

The layout of the page is shown in the figure below.

As shown, the page contains the following objects:

• dropdown list to select a Party (or an aggregated sum of Parties)
• dropdown list to select the years for which the data should be displayed. The following years are selected by default “Base year (Convention), 1990 and last year” and the user can select the combination of other years from the dropdown list.
• dropdown list to select a GHG category (from the list of categories)
• dropdown list to select a greenhouse gas or an aggregated sum of gases
• dropdown list to select a unit.

Upon selecting each of the above objects from the drop down list, the result is automatically displayed.

The definitions of the objects above are provided in the following sections:

• dropdown list for the "Select Party": contains list of the Parties to the Convention, including special groups like Annex I, Annex I EIT, Annex I non-EIT, and European Union. The list is arranged in 3 categories: Groups; Annex I Parties; and Non-Annex I Parties. The Parties are in alphabetical order within each category.
• dropdown list for the "Select years": The dropdown list contains different sets of years for data display.

• dropdown list for the "Select category": contains the standard list of CRF categories.
• dropdown list for the "Select gas": The list contains following items:

• dropdown list for the "Select unit": contains the list of units of measurement for GHG emissions/removals. The units are expressed in kilotonnes (kt) for Annex I Parties and in gigagram (Gg) for Non-Annex I Parties

The user also has the option to download the result of their query in Excel format, CSV format and printer friendly version (pdf).

This page provides access to detailed GHG emissions/removals data in a presentation by gas, i.e., data for individual GHGs (for the category selected by the user) are shown along with the corresponding GHG totals. The data under this heading is displayed at the level of the selected category only.

For a selected category, the comparisons can be made between any two Parties (or an aggregated sum of Parties) for any two years by gas. Please note that, the comparison can be made between Annex I Parties (or Annex I Parties Group) only and between the Non-Annex I Parties only. The comparison between the Annex I Party and Non-Annex I Party is not possible as the GHG emissions/removals are reported using different reporting guidelines.

By default, the data are displayed in tabular form. The corresponding data are also displayed in graphical forms. There is an option for the user to choose the type of chart (pie/bar chart).

This page provides access to detailed GHG emissions/removals data in a presentation by category for a selected gas in the specified unit, i.e., the emissions/removals of the specified gas are shown for the selected category along with their breakdown by the configured level of sub-categories. Note that for Party and year selection two unique selections should be made (1st Party, 2nd Party, and 1st year, 2nd year), so that comparisons between Parties and years can be provided.

Please note that the comparison can be made between Annex I Parties (or Annex I Parties Group) only and between the Non-Annex I Parties only. The comparison between the Annex I Party and Non-Annex I Party is not possible as the GHG emissions/removals are reported using different reporting guidelines.

By default, the data is displayed in tabular form. The corresponding data is also displayed in graphical forms. There is an option for the user to choose the type of chart (pie/bar chart).

This page provides access to greenhouse gas (GHG) data for Annex I Parties in a "map" format which complements the same data presented elsewhere on the UNFCCC data interface in tabular and graphical formats. Information is provided on anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of the seven principal GHGs for the period from the base year to the latest available year, which is usually 2 years before the current year.

Only key GHG data, such as national totals and emissions/removals for the major sectors/sub-sectors, are provided in this part of the GHG data interface. For more detailed information, other parts of the interface should be used, such as "Detailed data by Party".

By default, the map shows changes in total aggregate GHG emissions (including emissions/removals from the LULUCF sector) between the base year defined under the Climate Change Convention and the latest available year. To display other data, the user should select options from the three dropdown lists, as shown below. In essence, a combination of sector/subsector, gas and year has to be selected. Depending on the selections made, the appearance of the map and the list below it are automatically updated.

The map is interactive so that with the use of the scroll bars, one can move the view of the map up, down, to the right or to the left, and also zoom it in or out. There are markers attached to countries; when the cursor is placed on a marker, information on total GHG emissions for that country is displayed. Note that such markers become visible only when the resolution of the map is sufficient; for example, to see markers for relatively small countries one has to zoom in the map sufficiently.

The list underneath the map is by default sorted by value in ascending order. To change the sorting order (such as sorting by Party name), click on one of the sorting options (see the screenshot below). The Party names on the list, as well as the tags on the map, link to the emission details for that Party, which includes: (1) a summary table by sector and (2) a graphical representation of the contribution of each sector to the national total including LULUCF.

The 'Full report' is a hyperlink to the GHG profile (in PDF) for that Party.

The definitions of the different fields used in the map are as follows:

1. Sector or sub-sector: GHG emissions/removals estimates are presented in accordance with the categories (sectors, sub-sectors or even more detailed categories) as defined in Revised UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories for Parties included in Annex I to the Convention in accordance with decision 24/CP.19. For methodological reasons, although GHG emissions from international bunkers (aviation and marine) are included in the list of the sectors, those emissions are excluded from national totals. In addition to the sectors and/or sub-sectors, GHG emissions/removals data are also presented for total GHG emissions or “totals”. There are two kinds of totals: total emissions with LULUCF or “net total emissions”, and total emissions without LULUCF or “gross total emissions”. LULUCF stands for Land Use, Land-use Change and Forestry, and is the only sector that may emit into or remove GHGs from the atmosphere depending on whether the sector or sub-sector is a source or a sink.
2. Gas: In estimating the national anthropogenic GHG emissions by sources and removals by sinks, eight gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), unspecified mix of HFCs and PFCs, sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) are taken into account. The term "aggregate GHGs" refers to a sum of these seven gases; the sum is taken using the so-called Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) of each gas. The use of GWPs converts emissions/removals of various GHGs into the so-called CO2 equivalent.
3. Inventory Year: In addition to the emissions time series from 1990 to the latest available year, the users also have the option to select a series with changes from the base year to the latest available year, and a change over the period 1990 to the latest available year. The base year for Annex I Parties under the Climate Change Convention is normally 1990 but some Parties are allowed to use a base year other than 1990. These Parties and their base years are Bulgaria (1988), Hungary (average of 1985-1987), Poland (1988), Romania (1989) and Slovenia (1986).
4. Color legend: The color legend bar shows the relationship between the colors in the map and the values. The color gradients ranging from light purple to blue indicate absolute emissions (if emissions data are displayed on the map) or positive growth (if a trend is displayed); those ranging from light to dark green indicate carbon sinks (for emissions/removals data) or negative growth (for trend data); and yellow nuances indicate growth rates close to 0%. For the LULUCF sector, the gradients of green show removals, while the gradients of purple show emissions. The scale of the bar dynamic and is dependent on the range of values for a category/year selection.

This page allows the user to search and retrieve the user-defined data queries. This module is intended for users wanting to perform complex data queries as it offers the maximum flexibility in searching and retrieving data, including GHG emissions/removals, activity data, implied emission factors, country area, population and GDP.
