These are published materials, which provide practical guidelines for the preparation of greenhouse gas inventories. They are intended to meet the inventory reporting requirements of Parties to the UNFCCC. They are supplemented by inventory software. They are subject to the same writing and review process as Assessment Reports. The Overview Chapters of Methodology Reports are adopted section by section by the Panel, while the report is accepted by the Panel.
