1. Improving data and statistics

NSOs must improve data and statistics req= uired for GHG inventories

NSOs must improve data and statistics required for GHG inventories in co= llaboration with agencies responsible for greenhouse gas inventories includ= ing energy, industry, transport, agriculture, waste, forestry and land use = statistics. This is particularly the case for NSOs in Annex I Parties to UN= FCCC with annual inventory reporting obligations, but NSO=E2=80=99s involve= ment would be helpful in all countries reporting on greenhouse gas inventor= ies. To harmonize and streamline their work on GHG inventories, NSOs may wi= sh to consider the following issues and actions:

Good Practices
=20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20
Name of the case Country Brief description Results Difficulties Further information
Using official statistics to calculate GHG = Bosnia Herzegovina NSO was not directly involved in climate-change = agreements and implementation in the country; working with partners to esta= blish GHG statistics Publication of regular statistical releases =E2= =80=9CGreenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and waste sector=E2=80=9D - lack of understanding the importance and neces= sity of establishing environmental economic accounts in key institutions - lack of inter-institutional cooperation
- the absence of a function= ing network data management

Increase the analytical usefuln= ess of inventories with statistics

Canada Statistics Canada recasts official= Canadian GHG emissions data into GHG emissions accounts to provide users w= ith a tool better suited to economic analysis. The office explains the difference= s between the inventory concepts and the SEEA-CF concepts so t= here is no confusion among users.

- There are large conceptu= al differences between the inventories and official statistics. They need t= o be clearly explained to users.

Improving statistics for inventori= es with targeted measures China The National Bureau of Statistics = of China has a work plan to strengthen its statistics to better measure cli= mate change and especially greenhouse gas emissions The work plan provides a useful ex= ample of planning work that involves many agencies - unclear responsibilities be= tween agencies may prevent progress, which is why this work plan was prepar= ed in wide collaboration Word
