Objectives and Expected Outcomes
The 6th Greenhouse Gas Inventory System Training Workshop aims to provide an opportunity for countries in the Asia-Pacific region to build capacity and engage in policy dialogue on providing a national inventory report of greenhouse gases and utilizing national GHG inventories for the design and implementation of NDCs under the Paris Agreement. While Asia including the Pacific region emits the largest volume of GHG, producing about half the world’s carbon dioxide, member states are still having difficulty managing and collecting the GHG-related data. Therefore, the workshop is expected to have the following outcomes:
- Enhance capacity of government officials and experts on enhancing GHG inventory system through deeper understanding of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and its modalities, procedures and guidelines, outline of Biennial Transparency Report (BTR), electronic reporting of information through the ETF reporting tools.
- Exchange of advanced knowledge and experiences of national governments on developing GHG inventory systems, including electronic reporting of information through the reporting tools.
- Engage participants on NDC 3.0 updates, while advancing networks among participating organizations, countries, and regions to promote the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
Organizers
This workshop will be organized by the United Nations Office for Sustainable Development (UNOSD) of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
