Capacity building for greenhouse gases inventory development in Asia Pacific developing countries : final report
APN, 2005Developing countries are particularly vulnerable to the adverse impacts and threats of climate change. To help prioritise countermeasures against those impacts and threats, greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories that can provide an accurate knowledge of GHG emission/removal trends are critically important. In Asia, it is known that the country-specific information for emission/removal factors and activity data, which are essential to prepare reliable GHG inventories, is not readily available. Moreover, although the degree of development of inventories varies widely, forums for neighbouring countries ...
