Australian Government submissions to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement.
Our department publishes a series of comprehensive reports and databases that estimate, and account for, Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 onwards. Together these products comprise the National Greenhouse Accounts. The Accounts’ National Inventory Report fulfils Australia’s inventory reporting requirements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement.
Each report contains several volumes covering the sectors defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. From the National Inventory Report 2021, the report includes two volumes:
- Volume 1: General overview, recalculations, improvements, and details on Australia’s emissions estimates and methods for the energy (stationary energy, transport and fugitive emissions), industrial processes and product use, agriculture, land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF), and waste sectors.
- Volume 2: Annexes documenting Australia’s key categories, uncertainty estimates, reference approach, quality assurance and quality control, glossary, and references.
