The National Greenhouse Gas Inventory is the most significant database regarding to accounting purpose of anthropogenic GHG emissions and absorption by parties of the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol in order to further understand the implementation progress and assess the mitigation accomplishment. According to Durban agreement, Annex I parties are mandated to submit their National Inventory Reports (NIR), Biennial Report, and National Communications; in the meanwhile, Non-Annex I parties are requested to submit Biennial Update Reports and National Communications and encouraged to prepare their NIRs. In the light of Paris Agreement (PA) adopted by UNFCCC in 2015, the above national reports would possibly emerge the transparency of parties’ results for tackling climate change under Art. 13 of PA and become important to global stocktake under Art. 14 of PA. In the end of 2012, Taiwan EPA convened the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory committee and hosted several review meetings. Till now 2014 and 2015 ROC’s NIRs had been compiled and published. The Legislative Yuan adopted Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act (hereinafter to be referred as GHG Act) in June 2015. Art. 13 of GHG act and its enforcement rules requests central competent authority must compile national inventory and national report on GHG. In the trend of more attention on international GHG data and report, this project aims to grasp the negotiation progress of the relative modalities under UNFCCC and PA and the tendency of international emissions. Besides, it focuses on assisting Taiwan EPA to construct and promote the systematic operational mechanism for national GHG inventory, including the operation of review committee of national GHG inventory, maintain and update the web-based registry platform of national GHG inventory based on 2006 IPCC guideline, develop mobile APP for inventory, complete 2016 Taiwan NIR, plan the process for compilation and review of national report, establish a webpage for the 2016 inventory and compiling a summary brochure to promote understanding of national GHG inventory among citizens. The main objectives of this project include: 1.To master the modalities and review progress of UNFCCC national report and national GHG inventory. 2.To analyze research report and data materials from important international think tanks and organisations and establish a database of international GHG emissions. 3.To assist Taiwan EPA to operate the review meetings of national GHG inventory committee and complete to compile and publish Taiwan 2016 NIR. 4.To strengthen and maintain the web-based registry platform of national GHG inventory and develop mobile APP for inventory. 5.To assist Taiwan EPA to plan the process for compilation and review of national report in light of GHG Act and hold the relative work meetings.
