Greenhouse Gas Inventory Data
|
|
The ultimate objective of the Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) is to achieve "...
stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent
dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate sytem."
Estimating the levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals is an important element of the
efforts to achieve this objective. This web page provides access to most recent data on national GHG
emissions and removals as follows:
-
GHG Data -
UNFCCC: this page is an entry to the UNFCCC GHG data interface which provides access
to the most recent GHG data reported by countries that are Parties to the Climate Change Convention
-
KP Data -
UNFCCC: this is a page with GHG data relating specifically to the Kyoto Protocol; the
data are as reported by Annex I Parties that are Parties to the Kyoto Protocol
-
GHG Data -
Non-UNFCCC: this page provides links to the web sites of various organizations that
also collect, estimate and/or disseminate data on GHG emissions/removals
-
Online Help: the
help page contains extensive explanatory information to assist the user in finding the right GHG
data
-
Contact: this page
suggests an e-mail address that can be used to contact the UNFCCC secretariat for questions,
clarifications or more information relating to GHG data

How to find the GHG data needed within the GHG data interface
|
|
The UNFCCC data interface provides a vast multitude of data. Data can be displayed for individual
Parties or groups of Parties, for different greenhouse gases or for their sum, and in varying degrees
of detail. To find the exact GHG data required, the user is advised to consult the following
table where typical user requirements are mapped
against the data availability on this site.

What's new
|
The UNFCCC secretariat released an update of the GHG Data Interface on 16 June 2014.
This update provides access to the latest GHG data received by the secretariat as of 28 May
2014, which includes the 2014 national GHG inventory submissions of all Annex I Parties, as
well as information provided in recent submissions of national communications from 5 non-Annex I
Parties (Djibouti, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Tunisia).
In this regard, the relevant GHG emissions profiles and the predefined queries under the
'Time-series - Annex I' section have been updated.
Projections data has been included in the Flexible Queries module of the data interface, for Parties
who have reported this information in their common tabular format (CTF) tables.
