A technical training and hand-holding workshop on development of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventories is being organized for relevant stakeholders in Fiji on 21st & 22nd June 2016 as part of the Third National Communication (TNC) project activities.
The overall objective is to empower the stakeholders in Fiji to achieve the necessary level of expertise to develop GHG inventory through data collection, analysis, monitoring and reporting procedures as required by UNFCCC. The specific objectives include:
- Introduce stakeholders to the National Communication reporting process and requirements under the UNFCCC including scope and general principles for GHG inventories.
- Development of capacities among the stakeholders to collect, compile and archive the data for GHG sectors and prepare GHG emission projections and scenarios.
- Enabling relevant stakeholders in Fiji to monitor and report GHG independently in compliance with the UNFCCC requirements.
- Train stakeholders on using an updated IPCC 2006 modules and software for development of GHG inventory including quality assurance, control and uncertainty assessment.
