Mongolia's 2023 National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report Submitted to the UNFCCC
This document is Mongolia's National Inventory Report (NIR) for 2023, serving as an annex to its Second Biennial Update Report (BUR) submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The report details the national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, outlining the institutional, legal, and procedural arrangements established for its preparation, including planning, management, and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) processes. It describes the methodologies and data sources utilized for estimating emissions and removals, the application of Global Warming Potentials (GWPs), the identification of key categories, and the evaluation of general uncertainty and completeness across sectors and gases. The report also addresses the use of notation keys and discusses recalculations made in the inventory.
