6 References to greenhouse gases (GHG) in these guidelines for national systems refer to GHGs not controlled by the Montreal Protocol.

National systems should be designed and operated to support compliance with Kyoto Protocol commitments related to the estimation of anthropogenic GHG emissions by sources and removals by sinks.

Developing and maintaining the GHG information system

Therefore GHG emissions from this subsector will grow.

Resources for supporting the review of GHG inventories

Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting can calculate direct or indirect GHG emissions, which may be used for internal reporting or enterprise carbon accounting.

The Officer in Charge noted that the Montreal conference, the largest in the history of the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol, was convened against a backdrop of rising GHG emissions.

However, an additional paragraph (in bold) has been added to extend the application of adjustments to GHG emissions and removals under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, of the Kyoto Protocol.

They also present potential co benefits for GHG abatement.

Annex I Parties that are Parties to the Kyoto Protocol would still be subject to rigorous review of their national systems, GHG inventories and policies implemented or planned to achieve their targets.

Support to meetings of constituted bodies under the Kyoto Protocol Support to expert groups Support to the reviews of national communications and of greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories Development and maintenance of information systems.

projections of GHG other than CO2, CH4, and N2O, specifically

The CGE discussed the outcomes of the hands on training workshop on GHG inventories held in China, and recommended the following to improve future GHG inventory workshops

A need was expressed for equipment for monitoring GHG and climate.

Therefore GHG emissions can be expected to increase from this subsector.

data on emissions of other GHG (eg PFCs, HFCs, SF6), specifically

The SBSTA, at its twentieth session,3 requested the secretariat to prepare a note including a proposal for technical guidance on methodologies for adjustments under Article 5, paragraph 2, of the Kyoto Protocol for estimates of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals from LULUCF activities under the Kyoto Protocol.

All Parties followed the IPCC Guidelines in compiling their national GHG inventories.

In terms of aggregate total GHG emissions, expressed as CO2 equivalent, excluding the LUCF sector, CO2 was the primary GHG for more than half of the Parties (55 per cent).

Removals by LUCF in most Parties offset GHG emissions from this same sector.

Most reporting Parties are a net source of GHG emissions (see table 2).

Removals by LUCF in most Parties offset GHG emissions from this same sector.

Protocol is a Filter Protocol

They believe that these measures will result in reduction of growth of GHG emissions.

A range of other measures clearly delivers sustainable development as well as GHG benefits.

(c) estimate of total effects of policies and measures on GHG emissions and removals

Some stressed the need to develop a comprehensive energy balance to help compute GHG emissions in the energy sector on a continuous basis, and a few pointed out the need to link the energy balance with GHG emissions methodologies such that data changes in the energy balance are automatically reflected in the GHG emissions values.

In terms of aggregate total GHG emissions, expressed as CO2 equivalent, excluding the land use change and forestry (LUCF) sector, CO2 was the primary GHG for more than half of the Parties (55 per cent).

Precursors are atmospheric compounds which themselves are not GHG or aerosols but which have an effect on GHG or aerosol concentrations by taking part in physical or chemical processes regulating their production or destruction rates.

We have selected three widely discussed methods of allocating GHG emission quotas to different countries

The Renewables 2004 conference generated about 3,500 tonnes of GHG (1.44 tonnes CO2 equivalent participant).

Transport is considered a major sector that will contribute to the growth of GHG emissions.

The SBI noted that such documents should also include additional information on net' GHG emissions.

Twenty four GHG inventory reviews and 18 in depth reviews of national communications are scheduled.

Parties also expressed the need to establish a reliable and effective GHG inventory database system.

Removals by LUCF in most Parties offset GHG emissions from this same sector (see table 2).

It should be noted that 87 Parties (71 per cent) used the GWPs to estimate the relative contribution of each individual GHG or sector to their aggregate GHG emissions, although this is not required by the UNFCCC guidelines.
