The data also include activity data and implied emission factors by gas for all source categories. The GHG emission inventories are developed by Parties to the Convention using comparable methodologies agreed upon by the Conference of Parties. All the Parties base their GHG emission inventories on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Revised Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (1996), IPCC Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2000) and IPCC Good Practice Guidance on Land Use, Land-use Change and Forestry (2003).
