a) Reference year(s), base year(s), reference
period(s) or other starting point(s)
b) Quantifiable information on the reference
indicators, their values in the reference year(s),
base year(s), reference period(s) or other
starting point(s), and, as applicable, in the
target year
c) For strategies, plans and actions referred to in
Article 4, paragraph 6, of the Paris Agreement,
or polices and measures as components of
nationally determined contributions where
paragraph 1(b) above is not applicable, Parties
are to provide other relevant information
d) Target relative to the reference indicator,
expressed numerically, for example in
percentage or amount of reduction
e) Information on sources of data used in
quantifying the reference point(s)
f) Information on the circumstances under
which the Party may update the values of the
reference indicators
The year 2019 has been considered as the base year for the projection of
emissions.
The reference indicator is expressed as a percentage of decrease in GHG
emissions from the baseline scenario in 2030. GHG emissions in 2019
were 409 ktCOe.
NA (Not Applicable)
The Guinea-Bissau contribution aims to reduce GHG emissions by 30%
in 2030 compared to the baseline scenario.
The unconditional contribution based on the country's own resources
would lead to a 10% drop in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to the
reference scenario.
The conditional contribution, based on international support, would
allow an additional reduction in emissions of 20%.
Base year emissions were calculated from existing activity data,
applying the reference approach of the IPCC 2006 guidelines and using
the GWPs from the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4).
The complete national GHG inventories carried out in Guinea-Bissau
covered the years 1994, 2006, 2010 and 2013.
However, an operation is underway launched by Guinea-Bissau with
the support of the UNDP to carry out complete inventories for recent
years, probably including an update of the 2006, 2010 and 2013
inventories to harmonize the methodologies for emissions calculation.
