The 1994 GHG Inventory (1)

• First Emission Inventory developed in Peru
• One purpose effort Report to the UNFCCC
• Based on available information
• Developed by consultants

5
The 1994 GHG Inventory (2)

• Capacity built ?
• Poorly documented, difficult to replicate,
  verify
• Results did not call attention

• GHG emissions were not the focus of concern
• Air Quality Local problems linked to Global
  problems

6
Planning for the 2nd Inventory (1)

• Constraints/Needs
• Air Quality an increasing problem/law
  requirements
• Little capacity in institutions to manage AQ
  issues
• Lack of information for decision making
• Scarcity of resources

7
Planning for the 2nd Inventory (2)
National Environmental Agenda
National strategy on climate change
National Plan Lets Clean the Air (NAQS)
Integrated National Inventory

• Multipurpose effort
• Sustainability

8
How are we doing the 2000 inventory?
9
The 2000 Inventory improvements (1)

• Mixed team ministries staff supporting
  consultants AD
• Learning by doing
• Training of experts that after developed
  sectoral/local inventories
• Activity Data improvement Field work
• Capacity Needs Self assessment
• Integrated with Air Pollutants Inventory

10
The 2000 Inventory results (1)

• Capacity improved in the sectors ( 5 consultant
  in sectoral institutions)
• Important side products
• Sectoral data bases updated and improved
• Methodology for interpreting satelite images for
  LUCF
• Defforestation Map
• Preliminary design system
• Critical Factor Activity Data and DB

• Transport
• LUCF

11
Interpretations units
Our Main Source GHG emissions

• Amazonia 45 satellite images of 2000
• Scale of interpretation 1 100 000

Plans for the future
System proposal

• Legal instruments to support the integrated
  national
• inventory system
• Land use monitoring system
• Cross sectoral data base system
• QA/QC tools
• Automatic feeding / reporting
• Archiving and documentation system

Current efforts
15
Lessons learned

• Still much work to do
• Tool for decision making /multipurpose
• Legal Issues for data reporting and information
  flow
• Roles and Budget
• Law enforcement and Institutional capacity
  building
• Local problems with a global thinking
• Efficient use of resources (AQ, INV, CDM)
• Long term planning
• Advantages of mechanisms for emissions
  mitigation
