The National Greenhouse Accounts are a series of reports and databases that estimate and account for Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. The 2021 accounts cover the period 1989-90 to 2020-21.
The accounts:
- fulfil Australia’s international greenhouse gas inventory reporting commitments
- let us track progress towards, and compliance with, Australia’s emissions reduction commitments
- help us design, implement and evaluate domestic emissions reduction policies
- inform future emissions reduction commitments.
National Inventory Report
The National Inventory Report fulfils Australia’s international inventory reporting requirements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement.
These emissions estimates are prepared in line with UNFCCC and Paris Agreement reporting requirements and IPCC guidelines.
