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

Emission estimates prepared consistent with UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol reporting requirements, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines
