Implementing the Paris Agreement: LDC gaps and needs in greenhouse gas inventory reporting

This paper analyses over 20 years of LDC reports to the UNFCCC to understand their capacity constraints and needs for greenhouse gas inventory reporting, which becomes mandatory under the ETF. It provides recommendations to build in-country capacity, change reporting dynamics and help LDCs shift from a ‘fly-in, fly-out’ consultant model to a nationally-owned institutionalised process.
