  1. Context for IPCC 2006 Guidelines Jim Penman Steering Group Member (UK Defra)

  2. Origins • OECD initiation produced IPPC guidelines in 1995, updated 1996 • 1996 Guidelines adopted at COP3 • Supplemented by GPG in 2000 and 2003 • System adapted to actual needs - very widely used • Basis for 2006 Guidelines.

  3. Structure of 2006 Guidelines Aims: • Reduce number of volumes needed for cross referencing • Promote consistency between sectors • Resulting structure agreed at IPCC 21 (Vienna 2003):

  4. Volume structure Overview • Overview • Vol 1 - General Guidance and reporting • Vol 2 - Energy • Vol 3 - Industrial Processes and Product Use • Vol 4 - Agriculture, forestry and land use • Vol 5 - Waste

  5. Consistency amongst sectors • Combination of LULUF and Agriculture – common land use statistics, treatment of N inputs • Better coordination between Energy and IPPU on feedstocks • …and between energy and AFOLU on biofuels emissions • …and between energy and waste on incineration and waste derived fuels • …and between waste and HWP.

  6. Other improvements • HWP, wetlands advice integrated • Consistent approach to indirect N • Full carbon basis for fossil fuel emissions throughout • Relationship between carbon pools clarified • EFDB linkage • General guidance more prominent

  7. Data Collection • Inclusion of cross cutting guidance a major advance of GPG • Data representitiveness key issue – 2006 GL extends significantly (sources of data, data collection, sensor placement etc) • Particularly relevant because of introduction GHG emissions trading

  8. Significance of Inventory Guidelines • As with GPG basic principle for 2006 GL remains neither under nor overestimates so far as can be judged • IPCC very pleased that the 1996 Guidelines and GPG have proved of such use to Parties in providing unbiased estimates and believes the 2006 Guidelines will do so in future.
