Incentives for Sustainable National Greenhouse Gas Inventory in Developing Countries
Masato Kawanishi and Ryo Fujikura
Abstract—The present study aims to identify factors that
differentiate developing countries in terms of their sustainable
national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. To this end, we
evaluated the inventory systems of 10 non-Annex I countries in
Eastern Europe and Central Asia by scoring their submitted
national communications against eight criteria. We find that the
range of assigned scores widened with time among these
countries due to the EU accession process, which has created a
strong incentive for the countries concerned to establish
sustainable national GHG inventory systems. This finding has
implications for designing development assistance as part of a
broader strategy to engage developing countries in climate
actions, which should merit further elaboration.
Index Terms—Capacity building, climate change, development assistance, greenhouse gas inventory.
