Synopsis (short abstract) The case study highlights how a roadmap of actions and their targeted implementation can assist Madagascar in coping with the main challenges of addressing the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting requirements. It describes the starting point for the roadmap of actions and explains how the approach chosen, the tools used, and sustained effort made it possible to overcome the country’s challenges. It also highlights the importance of developing sustainable in-house capacity for continuous future improvement.

    Understanding countries’ status and challenges for the estimation of carbon stock changes from mineral soils in national greenhouse gas inventories: Preliminary survey findings 2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Despite the growing global support for capacity building to improve soil management, the estimation and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals, especially from mineral soils in national GHG inventories, is still very limited. In 2021, the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and FAO conducted a global survey to assess how countries have addressed the estimation of carbon stock changes (CSCs) in mineral soils in their GHG inventories. This report presents the findings from the survey.

    Archiving guidance for a national greenhouse gas inventory 2023

    Aiming to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, in 2015 Parties adopted the Paris Agreement, and through it established an enhanced transparency framework (ETF). Countries are now actively engaged in establishing the necessary arrangements to implement the ETF. A series of rules known as modalities, procedures and guidelines (MPGs, Dec. 18/CMA.1) were established to operationalize the ETF. A GHG inventory (GHGI) is a collection of estimates of GHG emissions and removals that are key for understanding countries' contribution to climate change and are fundamental for the tracking of Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) implementation and progress. To ensure that countries can report on the GHG emissions and removals every two years, it is fundamental to set up adequate institutional arrangements and define a well structured archiving system. In addition, the MPGs indicates that each Party shall report on its archiving of all information. This is a step-by-step guidance that helps countries to define the structure for the archiving system and appropriate procedures for archiving inventory data and information, preventing the loss of information and facilitating the preparation of future GHG inventories.
