Outline of the presentation

What is relevant for NC?

Trends and indicators in practice

National system in Finland


National circumstances

What is relevant for NC ?Stable and changing elementsWhat is the background story ?GHG - inventory information is the basis for reportingAdditional analyses country specificEU-countries introduce indicators for monitoring and

evaluation


National circumstances

Trends and indicators in practiceGeneral trends (example 1)Driving forces and intensities (example 2 and 3)Policy demonstration (example 4)Inconsistency problems, especially in marginal sectors

or emission sources (example 5)There are many ways for exact presentation (example 6)IPCC categories are not transparent, language and

interpretation problems


Example 1: Renewable energy sources in Finland, Mtoe(Energy Trends in Finland 2003, Ministry of Trade and Industry)


Example 2: Final energy consumption by sector, 1975 =100(Energy Trends in Finland, Ministry of Trade and Industry)


Example 3: Energy intensity, 1975=100(Energy trends in Finland 2003, Ministry of Trade and Industry)


Example 4: Renewable energy sources in electricity generation in Finland,1990 = 100(Energy Trends in Finland 2003, Ministry of Trade and Industry)


Example 5: CO2 intensity of the service sector

National System in Finland General functions

Decision in principle of the Government of 30.1.2003, defining the tasks of different authorities in national climate policy

Statistics Finland as responsible national entity Agreements with other agencies and institutions, which

belong to the national inventory system Project for creating sufficient capacity in Statistics Finland

(earlier in the working group of the Ministry of Environment) Transitional arrangements until end 2004


National System in Finland Inventory planning

Statistics Finland agrees with agencies on annual inventory process and QC/QA procedures

Policy and scenario reporting in cooperation with the national climate strategy

Documentation of national system and inventory process, including quality management in 2004


National System in Finland Inventory preparation

Good cooperation between agencies continues Studies on inventory uncertainty (tier 2): -5…+6% Recalculations based on integrated environment-energy

data system Connection with emission trading registries expected


Quality programme 2004 (general inventory level)

Objectives ActivitiesThe project for the establishment of GHG inventory unit in Statistics Finland

Definition and allocation of specific responsibilities in the inventory

Agreements on the inventory with the agencies and institutions, which belong to the National inventory system

Identification and documentation of Calculation protocols (the actual system for producing the CRF-sectoral inventories)

Documentation of National system

Identification and documentation of inventory compilation and reporting process

Improvement of transparency of the inventory to meet the requirements

Documentation of the CRF-sectoral inventories (organisation, work process, methodology, uncertainty estimation, recalculations, quality programme, improvement plan, documentation and archiving)Adoption of the principle of continuous

improvement

Establishment of National inventory system

Familiarisation of the Finnish inventory experts with the international guidelines concerning GHG inventories (and analysis of the gap between the requirements and the actual inventory procedures in Finland)

Formation and working of the QA/QC steering group consisting of inventory experts from expert organisations and chaired by QA/QC co-ordinator from Statistics Finland

Only general objectives were set in the situation of transitional arrangements until end 2004
