  1. FTS Programme Activities Related to National Greenhouse Gas Inventories1st Meeting of the Reconstituted CGE Bonn, Germany, 29-31 March 2010 Dominique Revet UNFCCC Financial and Technical Support (FTS) Programme DRevet@unfccc.int

  2. Outline 3 Main Activities to Assist NAI Parties: • (1) Southeast Asia (SEA) Regional Project (Phase I to end in September/October 2010) • (2) NAI GHG Inventory Software (Version 2.0 planned for release at SB 32) • (3) Africa (Eastern and Southern) Regional Project (to be initiated in June 2010)

  3. Major Issues and Concerns • Various levels of technical expertise • Inventory “systems” are functioning but unsustainable • Teams are small; with limited resources and multiple responsibilities • Difficulty in retaining people; work is not attractive • Insufficient documentation of methods, activity data (AD), emission factors, and processes • Lack of AD and non-representativeness of default EFs • Weak institutional arrangements (for data sharing, etc.) • Lack of tools to move to higher tiers • The secretariat received requestsfor assistance to strengthen the capacity of countries to improve their national GHG inventories • General mandate included inArticle 8, paragraph 2 (c)of the Convention, as recalled inDecision 17/CP.8, theUNFCCC secretariat will facilitate assistance to non-Annex I Parties

  4. Catalytic Role of the Secretariat The UNFCCC secretariat plays a catalytic role in: - Addressing non-Annex I Parties’ requests for assistance - Coordinating with relevant organizations to avoid duplication of efforts, maximize efficiency and minimize costs - Raising supplementary funds to provide adequate assistance to NAI Parties - Coordinating the implementation of activities (regional coordination, MoU for workshops, logistics, etc.)

  5. Project 1:Regional capacity-building for sustainable national greenhouse gas inventory management systems in Southeast Asia(SEA GHG Project) Participating Countries: 1. Cambodia2. Indonesia3. Lao P.D.R.4. Malaysia 5. Philippines6. Singapore *7. Thailand8. Vietnam Project Duration: >3 years (2007 – 2010) Funding sources and collaborating Institutions:- US - Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA)- Colorado State University (CSU)- Japan’s Workshop on GHG Inventories in Asia (WGIA (GIO/NIES)) - EU

  6. SEA GHG Project Objectives:To strengthen the capacity of SEA countries to improve the quality of their national GHG inventory for the development of sustainable inventory management systems. Components: Component 1:Improving National Inventory Management Systems Component 2: Comprehensive multi-tier GHG software for Agriculture and LULUCF (ALU software) Component 3:Targeted improvements to LULUCF sector (Forest land) Component 4: Targeted improvements to Agriculture sector Component 5:Targeted improvements to Energy sector

  7. Project 2:NAI GHG Inventory Software(Version 2.0) • To address the (in)compatibility issues of the current version (2007 – based on MS Excel) • Web based application • Possible access over a network (allowing simultaneous access to the internal database) • Data entered into worksheets is stored into a database that is physically separate from the programme displaying the worksheets (new versions of software won’t impact the data stored) • Based on free widely used language and tools • Very small size (only a few mb) • To be released as a fully functional prototype at SB 32

  8. Project 3:Regional capacity-building for sustainable national greenhouse gas inventory management systems in Eastern and SouthernAfrica Participating Countries: • Around 5 to 7 NAI Parties from Eastern and Southern Africa • Countries with REDD projects • Scoping meeting tentatively planned for end of June 2010 Project Duration: 3 years (2010 – 2012) Funding sources and collaborating Institutions:- Canada - US - Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) - To be confirmed - Colorado State University (CSU) - Switzerland - EU

  9. Additional Information - SEA GHG Project

  10. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Component 1 is about the use of Template Approach for building National GHG Inventory Management Capacity

  11. Component 2 is about the ALU Software

  12. June 2007, Manila, Philippines; Scoping Meeting • Introduced to the GHG Management Templates (Component 1) Milestone April 2008, Singapore: Kick-off Workshop • Introduced to ALU software and ALU Workbook, including a workshop on how to fill in primary and secondary data (manual distributed) (Component 2) July 2008, Tsukuba, Japan: Short Follow-up meeting • Reported on the progress of the use of Templates and ALU Workbooks May 2009, Seam Reap, Cambodia: Regional Training on ALU Software • Trained on how to accomplish the ALU Workbooks in preparation for the in-country training July 2009, Seoul, South Korea: Short Follow–up meeting • Discussed status of ALU Workbook preparation and the schedules of ALU in-country trainings for SEA countries October and November 2009, Philippines and Thailand In-Country Training Workshops on ALU Software • Conducted hands-on training on the use of ALU software February 2010, Vietnam and Cambodia In-Country Training Workshops on ALU Software • conducted hands-on training on the use of ALU software February 2010, PNG – Meeting for the country to join the Project
