Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations have become increasingly significant in shaping national and international policies, particularly in the realm of climate change. This document serves as an essential guide for understanding the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, which were developed to update the methodologies for estimating greenhouse gas emissions and removals. The primary objective of this document is to provide a comprehensive introduction to these guidelines, offering a clear framework for countries and inventory compilers who are preparing greenhouse gas inventory estimates for the first time. Readers will find answers to critical questions such as the fundamental concepts behind greenhouse gas inventories, the methods for estimating emissions and removals, and the structure of the guidelines. Additionally, the document delves into the quality assurance and quality control measures necessary for compiling accurate and reliable inventories. By the end of this document, readers will have a thorough understanding of how to apply the 2006 Guidelines to develop consistent, comparable, and transparent greenhouse gas inventories. This document is designed to be accessible to a broad audience, including policymakers, environmental scientists, and inventory compilers. It aims to demystify the technical aspects of greenhouse gas inventory compilation, making it easier for users to implement the guidelines effectively. Whether you are a seasoned professional or new to the field, this document will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to contribute to global efforts in monitoring and mitigating climate change.
