Global context : UNFCCC, GEF
 Strengthen
the capacity of participating
countries to improve the quality of their national inventories in the
context of their commitments as parties to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change
o
o
decisions 10/CP.2, 11/CP.2, 2/CP.4, 10/CP.4, 10/CP.5
FCCC/CP/2001/L.2 and L.4, articles 4.1(a)(b) and 12.1(a) of the Convention
 Improvement
of EFs and data
o non-Annex I parties are “encouraged to formulate cost-
effective national and, where appropriate, regional
programmes aimed at the improvement of local emission
factors and appropriate data gathering.”
Decision 10/CP.2
Regional context

Emissions in region are increasing and
uncertainties in GHG emissions
assessed as high

Low level of awareness by decision
makers
 Missing
long term strategies
 Remaining problems with institutional
arrangements
 Limited resources and capacity
 Communication barriers, data gaps
10 outputs are defined
within the project
What we do (Main objectives)
1. Strengthen institutional arrangements for
compiling, archiving, updating and
managing greenhouse gas inventories
2. Create sustainable inventory processes
[Tools, expertise]
3. Enhance technical capacity for preparing
national inventories
4. Improve national methodologies and
emission factors

Approach under regional project






Review of national objectives and priorities
Development of detailed national
workplans; harmonize schedule,
deliverables
Iterative process
No duplication
(1NC->top-up ->regional project ->SNC)
Complementary approach
Focus on 4 regional key sources
1.
2.
3.
4.
CO2 emissions from mobile combustion sources
CH4 from solid waste treatment
Fugitive CH4 emissions from oil and gas
CH4 emissions from enteric fermentation
How we do it (1)



the project includes common activities for all
participating countries carried out under a regional
umbrella
countries may choose the remaining activities to
carry out based on national priorities
concept of key sources of emissions
(allows the approach to be replicated for use in other
regions with only minor modifications )

trainings, training materials, templates, guidance
materials, networking, distribution of good
examples,…

Improvement of Agricultural Emissions Estimates and Implementation of Good Practice Elements in the
National Inventories, Third Regional Workshop, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Hotel Sheraton, October7-8, 2004
FRAMEWORK FOR DATA COLLECTION
IN LIVESTOCK BREEDING
 The Department of Statistic and Sociology (DSS)
prepares annually Statistical Yearbooks (SY);
 SYs contain aggregated data for the whole
livestock breeding sector and disaggregated data
for each type of animal population;
 On regular bases, the DSS receives initial data
from juridical and physical entities;
 For accounting and reporting specific activity data,
periodical and annual statistics forms are
approved for each year through an Intern Order of
the DSS:
e.g.: Annual and Periodical Statistics Forms for
2004 year were approved through Order Nr. 108
from 17.09.2003.

National Inventories, Third Regional Workshop, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Hotel Sheraton, October7-8, 2004
Sample of Documentation (contd.)
Factors and other coefficients:
Weight units = 0,395 t/m3 (Regulating enactment
“Sanitation Rules and Norms” of Uzbekistan №0068-96

Share of wastes within different types of SWDS
• managed = 0,17
• unmanaged > 5 м = 0,04
• unmanaged < 5 м = 0,79
(data by Tashkent department «Heat Sources»)
Waste Morphological Compound:
Paper and Fabric = 22,8 %
Food waste = 38,4 %
Wood waste and straw = 4,9 %
