CGE WORKSHOPSt Marys Antigua and

  • LESSONS LEARNT AND GOOD PRACTICE FOR
    REPORTING OF NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS BY NAI

2
BACKGROUND
  • In order to fulfil part of Work
    Programme of the CGE Mandate(FCCC/SBI/2010/inf
    .2) of synthesizing lessons learnt and
    collate good practices for reporting of  
    National Communications, 
  • Key selected indicators have been  identified 
    from User Manual for Guidelines on NCs
    from NAI for various sections of National
    Communication for NAI Parties,  which   
    represent  a fair contribution  to  good 
    practice  articulation.
  • These  key indicators  have been   
    qualitatively assessed/collected  from SNC 
    reports of  selected NAI Parties  which have
    so far  submitted their NCs, and  from other
    groups work to avoid duplication.
  • The Matrix developed can enable a reasonable
    fair comparison of good practices and challenges
    across NAI countries who have submitted their SNC
  • This process may assist in identification
    of challenges which require sharing among
    Parties aimed at improving reporting of NCs.

RESULTS
  • 90 of the Parties assessed included in
    the NC, information on institutional
    arrangements for preparation of National
    Circumstances and distribution of
    responsibilities
  • Only 19.4 and 40 of attained indicators,
    included in the NC description of relevant
    features from national circumstances
    affecting and/or being affected by climate
    change, and insertion of a Summary Table of
    key relevant information.

6
RESULTS-GHG INVENTORY
  • Over 80 of Parties attained good practice
    reporting on inclusion of information on
    description of institutional arrangements for
    preparation of GHG inventory, use of
    higher-tier methods, and coverage of all
    sectors, respectively
  • There was moderate coverage of indicators of
    around 60 related to complete coverage of
    gases including indirect gases and inclusion
    of Summary Table, and time series analysis.

7
RESULTS-GHG Inventory
  • There were, however, challenges with
    attainment performance of below 50 on
    undertaking comparison of Reference and
    Sectoral Approaches, key category analysis,
    institution of National Inventory Management
    System including QA/QC and uncertainty
    assessments, and combined use of Revised
    1996 IPCC Guidelines, IPCC Good Practice
    Guidance 2000, and Good Practice Guidance
    for LULUCF 2003.

8
RESULTS VA
  • There was good practice reporting on
    inclusion of information on institutional
    arrangements for preparation of VA, and
    use of GCM/RCM models for developing CC
    projection scenarios and impact assessment
    based either on models or expert judgment
    with over 80 attainment, and to some
    extent inclusion of Policy Framework
  • The challenge, however, remained with
    application of either multi criteria
    analysis and/or cost benefit analysis for
    prioritisation of projects from the normally
    long lists of adaption projects being
    recommended.

9
RESULTS-MITIGATION
  • There were good efforts to include in the
    NC information related to mitigation
    strategy and plan, and use of tools for
    baseline and mitigation scenarios development
    with 70 and 52, respectively.
  • There was, however, less assessment of
    cost of mitigation, and integration of GHG
    reductions and costs through construction
    of marginal cost curves with below 20
    attainment performance and completely no
    coverage on macroeconomic assessment of
    climate change mitigation.

10
RESULTS- OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
  • There was good attainment of inclusion on
    status on information technology transfer,
    research and systematic observation, and
    activities related to education, training
    and public awareness with 90 attainment
  • Under this section, the challenge remains
    with integrating and/or mainstreaming climate
    change into development plans

RESULTS-SUMMARY PERFORMANCE ATTAINMENT
Attainment range lt50 50 to 59 60 to 69 Over 70 Total
Number in range 13 4 10 4 31
Comments ( Total) 42 13 32 13 100
If over 60 can be regarded as good
practice threshold, results of this
analysis indicate that 45 of the Parties
assessed had made efforts in their
reporting with good practice, and 55 had
challenges in fulfilling good practice
during reporting of NCs.
