National Greenhouse Accounts 2019

The National Greenhouse Accounts are a series of comprehensive reports and databases that estimate, and account for, Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. The 2019 accounts cover the time period 1990-2019.

The accounts:

• fulfil Australia’s international greenhouse gas inventory reporting commitments
• provide the official basis for tracking progress towards, and assessing compliance with, Australia’s emission reduction commitments
• support domestic emission reduction policy design, implementation and evaluation
• inform future emission reduction commitments
