The Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme
(UNEP) in 1988. Its main objective was to assess scientific, technical
and socio-economic information relevant to the understanding of
human induced climate change, potential impacts of climate change
and options for mitigation and adaptation. The IPCC has completed
four assessment reports, developed methodology guidelines for national
greenhouse gas inventories, special reports and technical papers.
For more information on the IPCC, its activities and publications,
please see the IPCC homepage.
The IPCC National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme was managed from
1991 by the IPCC WG I in close collaboration with the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Energy
Agency (IEA) until its transfer to the IPCC's Task Force on National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories (TFI) based in Japan in 1999. |
IPCC Inventory Software
The IPCC Inventory software is now available. It is designed to implement the simplest Tier 1 methods in the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and as such is useful to users of all versions of the IPCC Guidelines. It is available free on CD or can be downloaded from here.
Development of Supplementary Guidance for Wetlands
Details on the development of the "2013 Supplement to the 2006 IPCC
Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories: Wetlands" can be found here.
The IPCC Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories is now inviting experts to review the first order draft of this new guidance on estimating anthropogenic emissions and removals from wetlands and organic soils. The first order draft will be open for expert review for 8 weeks starting on 16 April 2012 and will remain open until 11 June 2012.
In order to be thoroughly reviewed, it needs to be examined by a wide range of inventory compilers and experts in the IPCC Guidelines as well as wetlands and soil experts.
If you can assist us with the review of all or part of this document please register at
