Designed to facilitate comparison of inventory data and trends among Annex I Parties
Explanation of qualitative information should be provided in National Inventory Report (cross-references between CRF and NIR)
Contains:
Summary
Sectoral and trend tables
Sectoral background data tables (reporting activity data and estimates and calculation of implied emissions factors)
Tables for reporting key source categories, recalculation and completeness of inventory
