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 November
2012.
This update provides access to the latest GHG data received by the secretariat as of 22 October
2012, which includes resubmissions of 2012 national GHG inventories of 11 Annex I Parties, as
well as information provided in recent submissions of national communications of 4 non-Annex I Parties
(Eritrea, Guyana, Israel, Rwanda). In this regard, the relevant GHG emissions profiles and the
predefined queries under the 'Time-series - Annex I' section have been updated.
A new feature is also included in this release. In response to the request by SBSTA
34, data in the Detailed data by Party and Comparisons by category modules are now presented in
physical units, in addition to carbon dioxide equivalent.
