Africa Regional Workshop on the Building of Sustainable National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Management Systems and the use of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories Workshop Objective, Expectations and Agenda Maseru, Lesotho, 14 18 March 2016 UNFCCC Secretariat
Background and Mandate SBI 42 Conclusions FCCC/SBI/2015/10, paragraph 29 The SBI noted the requests from non-annex I Parties for further technical support aimed at improving their domestic capacity to facilitate continuity in meeting reporting requirements through training on the use of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, building sustainable national greenhouse gas inventory management systems, and understanding and applying best practices relevant to the setting up of domestic measurement, reporting and verification systems. It encouraged the secretariat, in coordination with UNEP and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to make every effort to ensure that the relevant training is made available to all non-annex I Parties.

Objective and expectations from the Workshop Disseminate, and start implementing, tools to support the establishment of national GHG inventory management systems Link the tools disseminated/used to daily work of national GHG inventory experts and/or coordinators at various stages of GHG inventories development, and discuss how the approach can be applied for other areas of Climate Change related projects/reports Share country experiences and possible lessons learned Active participation in the hands-on training sessions and plenary discussions Provide feedback on the design and content of the workshop 5
