Notes on data changes

Here we list notes explaining important emissions changes for the country.

  • No new country reported data has been included.
    • Changes in the CR scenario are due to the updated third party data which plays a large role also in the CR scenario because country reported data only covers 1990, 2000, and 2014.
    • The 2023 changes in the agricultural sector come from new FAO data which add information for 2022 and adjusts data for 2021. Because of the importance of the agricultural sector these changes also affect cumulative emissions.
    • New EDGAR data introduces changes for 1.B.1, 5 and other sectors with smaller contribution to absolute emissions changes. Impacts on emissions in 1.B.1 and 5 are the same as for the TP time-series as there is no country reported data for the sectors.
  • For the TP scenario changes are similar with the addition of a decrease in waste CH4 emissions of almost 70% which comes directly from the new EDGAR data.

Changes by sector and gas

For each scenario and time frame the changes are displayed for all individual sectors and all individual gases. In the sector plot we use aggregate Kyoto GHGs in AR6GWP100. In the gas plot we usenational total emissions without LULUCF.
