Non-ferrous emissions reported as being <0.1 have not been included in this table. "Emissions from the Party's territories were not estimated. Figure A.4. Relative contribution of different greenhouse gases by Party * Excludes land use change and forestry. Other includes PFCs, HFCs, and SF for comparative purposes. IPCC-1994 GWP values with a time-horizon of 100 years, previously unavailable, were used by the secretariat New Zealand reported emissions for PFCs of 0.1 Gg. The secretariat has assumed that approximately 5 per cent of these emissions are from C,F, and the remaining 95 per cent from CF.. Comments CO, was the most significant anthropogenic greenhouse gas representing 75 per cent of total emissions reported. For 13 Parties, CO, contributed more than 70 per cent of of CH was larger than that of CO2. In another case, the importance of other gases was higher than for any other Party because of aluminium smelting.

Guidelines for the preparation of national communications and the process for their review were agreed on by the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee for a Framework Convention on Climate Change, by its decisions 9/2 and 10/1, and by the Conference of the Parties, at its first session, by its decisions 2/CP.1 and 3/CP.1 (see FCCC/CP/1995/7/Add.1). In accordance with these decisions, a compilation and synthesis of the first 15 national communications from Annex I Parties was prepared (A/AC.237/81). When reviewing the implementation of the Convention by Parties, the subsidiary bodies and the Conference of the Parties will have this report available to them in English as well as the summary of the report in the six official languages of the United Nations. (These bodies will also have before them the executive summary of the first national communication of the United States of America and country-specific information drawn from a compilation and synthesis report covering all countries that have submitted national communications.) |
