Objective 1: IG3IS in Support of National Inventory Preparation
Bottom-up estimating of greenhouse gases entirely relies on self-reporting and hence, on the capabilities of the country to collect the necessary information; this challenges the goals for transparent, accurate, complete, consistent and comparable (TACCC) reporting. While the quality of the reports is assured through reviews by third parties, these reviews only check for consistency of the applied procedures; they do not provide an evaluation against independent information.
