Chapter 5 Cross-cutting Issues
Cross-cutting issues • General issues • Common subjects to other chapters • Conceptual basis for issues developed in other chapters
Cross-cutting issues in GPG-LULUCF • Same issues of GPG-2000 • Highlight the main points covered in GPG-2000 • Reference to GPG-2000 • Develop special considerations for the LULUCF sector
Cross-cutting Issues • Identifying and quantifying uncertainties • Sampling • Methodological choice -Identification of key categories • Quality assurance and quality control • Time series consistency and recalculations • Verification
Identifying and quantifying uncertainties • Guidance for estimate uncertainties • Guidance to combine uncertainties • Types of uncertainty in the LULUCF sector
Sampling • Particularly important in the LULUCF sector • Land areas • Biomass stock • Soil carbon • Guidance for planning and use of sampling surveys • Relation between sampling design and uncertainty level
Identification of key categories • Categories that most contribute to inventory uncertainty • Approach expanded to cover also sink categories • Additional guidance for Kyoto Protocol articles 3.3 and 3.4
Quality assurance and quality control • Aspects specific for checks in the LULUCF sector • Large use of sampling • Large use of models
Time series consistency and recalculations • Methodological change • Periodic (not annual) data
Verification • Independent check • Alternative methods • Application of verification for the LULUCF sector
Latest developments • First review: ~ 600 comments • Many recommending simplification • Detailed material moved to other chapters • Common subjects moved from other chapters (e.g. Sampling)
