Second National Communication of Brazil to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change COP-16 / CMP-6 Cancun, December 9th, 2010
UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Commitment of all Parties to the Convention • “Develop, periodicallyupdate, publishandmakeavailable to theConferenceofthePartiesnationalinventoriesofanthropogenicemissionsby sources andremovalsbysinksofallgreenhouse gases notcontrolledbythe Montreal Protocol, usingcomparablemethodologies” • Article 4.1(a)
UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Non-Annex 1 Countries Developing countries • Periodical inventories as part of their National Communications to the Convention 1st Inventory in 2004, covering 1990-1994 2nd Inventory in 2010, covering 1990-2005 Annex 1 Countries Industrialized countries Annual Inventories latest available year: 2008
Steps taken or envisaged in the country Measures related to climate change mitigation Measures to facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change Other information considered relevant to the achievement of the objective of the Convention: Transfer of technologies Research and systematic observation Education, training and public awareness National and regional capacity building Information and networking Second National Communication

2nd Brazilian Inventory of Anthropogenic Emissions by Sources and Removals by Sinks of Greenhouse Gases not Controlled by the Montreal Protocol
2nd Brazilian Inventory of Anthropogenic Emissions by Sources and Removals by Sinks of Greenhouse Gases not Controlled by the Montreal Protocol
Profile of Brazilian Emissions 2º Inventário Brasileiro de Emissões e Remoções Antrópicas de Gases de Efeito Estufa – Dados Preliminares (Nov 2009)
Emissions in CO2e using different metrics • Brazil presents its emissions and removals in mass units of each gas in a transparent manner • The presentation of total net emissions in CO2e depends on the choice of conversion metric • The usual metric (GWP-100) does not correctly represents the contribution to climate change of the different gases as it overestimates the contribution of long-lived gases, like methane • Brazil included in its Second National Communication the results using both the GWP-100 and GTP-100 showing the difference between the results
