Inventory Planning\nThe EPA has developed the Toolkit for Building National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Systems (‘Toolkit’) to help developing countries build their institutional capacity to establish, maintain, and improve sustainable inventory management systems, which facilitate and support preparing complete, high-quality greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories using the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/\" \u00142006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Guidelines\u0015 (2006 IPCC Guidelines) and the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2019/12/19R_V0_01_Overview.pdf\" \u00142019 Refinement of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines\u0015 (2019 Refinement) on a biennial basis.\nIn the EPA’s Toolkit, this is Template 1. Its purpose is to explain how to use the Toolkit and provides tables to develop a national GHG inventory schedule and track progress with completing each template in the series. This template helps the National GHG Inventory Coordinator initiate and manage inventory planning and provides a table to record due dates for key compilation stages. This template can facilitate GHG inventory planning for current (i.e., Biennial Update Report, National Communications) and future (i.e., Biennial Transparency Report, National Communications) reporting under the Enhanced Transparency Framework to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).\nUnder the Paris Agreement, the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) established new common Modalities, Procedures, and Guidelines (MPGs) for reporting under Article 13. The MPGs are based on a set of guiding principles that allow for flexibility in reporting, in light of national circumstances, while promoting the consistency, completeness, and reliability of reports. The MPGs define the reporting information to be provided, the technical expert review methods, institutional arrangements, and a process by which nations inform the national community of progress toward their goals. The ETF provides built-in flexibility to those developing countries that need it, owing to their national capacities. Through the detailed guidance on the reporting, review, and consideration processes for the information to be submitted and by making these reports publicly available, the ETF will make it possible to track the progress made by each country. In this way, it will be possible to compare a country’s actions against its plans and ambitions as\nTransition to Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF)\ndescribed in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).\nInstructions for Completing and Customizing Each Template\nThe intended user of the Toolkit is a country’s National Inventory Coordinator and members of its inventory compilation team. The introduction in each template provides guidance to the user on how to use and complete the template, such as a list of steps to complete and an explanation of the purpose of each step.\nEach template in the Toolkit includes tables to be filled in with information about the national GHG inventory system that is being built or improved. These tables may be customized by adding, removing, or modifying columns or rows to better reflect your country’s particular needs or circumstances.\nEnter new information about your inventory in black text.\nThe blue text throughout each template provides detailed instructions and example responses to help you complete the tables.
