IIRsIIRsWhat ?

• Transparency: including whether the data provided shows clearly the methods, assumptions and data sources used for the estimates.

• Completeness: ensuring that all anthropogenic sources of emission are included for which there are methods provided in The Guidebook

• Comparability: ensuring that emission estimates are compiled using similar and compatible methods across Parties and provided at a similar level of detail.

• Consistency: ensuring that data provided by a party has consistent data and assumptions across years and pollutants reported.

• Accuracy: assessment to ensure that uncertainties in emission estimates are minimised and that uncertainty analysis forms the basis of prioritising future improvements by the Party.
