Synopsis (short abstract) Each greenhouse gas inventory (GHGI) cycle presents an opportunity to improve the overall inventory process. To do so, information should be managed and stored in a way that ensures adequate data archiving and accessibility. This will reduce the risk of losing information, improve processes, and enhance their overall sustainability. This case study focuses on the main challenges and steps to design and implement GHGI archiving procedures for better management of information, which can help countries meet the reporting requirements related to GHG inventories and associated transparency.

    Enhancing Senegal’s national greenhouse gas inventory archiving system 2023

    The establishment of a well-organized and secured national greenhouse gases inventory’s archiving system is of paramount importance according to the Enhanced Transparency Framework, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and in general to the best practices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Working to best prepare countries to address the transparency requirements, FAO has recently empowered Senegal towards improved archiving and proper management of greenhouse gas inventory (GHGI) data. The results of this process are presented here in order to encourage other countries in similar conditions to consider approaching FAO for tailored support while building their capacity to meet UNFCCC requirements under the ETF.

    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.
