1 The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change explicitly excludes greenhouse gases that are controlled by the Montreal Protocol.
2 Global warming potentials (GWPs) present the radiative forcing impacts of greenhouse gases relative to carbon dioxide. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (1995) GWPs over a 100-year time horizon are used under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol.
3 Activity includes only carbon dioxide not other greenhouse gases.
4 Details on these mechanisms and land use, land-use change and forestry can be found in
Anon. (2005a,
2005b,
2005c).
5 This reporting includes annual greenhouse gas inventory reporting by Annex I parties and periodic reporting of national communications by parties not included in Annex I. The countries listed in Annex I to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change are industrialised countries plus countries with ‘economies in transition’.
6 Including emissions from land-use change and forestry.
