1 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONVENTION ON LONG-RANGE TRANSBOUNDARY AIR POLLUTION Anthony Tonchevski Key Expert

2 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " THE 1979 GENEVA CONVENTION ON LONG-RANGE TRANSBOUNDARY AIR POLLUTION (CLTRAP) Signed in 1979, entered into force in 1983; Goal: to develop international environmental law and create the essential framework for controlling and reducing the damage to human health and the environment caused by transboundary air pollution; Signed and ratified by 34 countries plus EU.

3 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " CLTRAP IS EXTENDED BY EIGHT SPECIFIC PROTOCOLS The 1999 Gothenburg Protocol to Abate Acidification, Eutrophication and Ground-level Ozone The 1998 Aarhus Protocol on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) The 1998 Aarhus Protocol on Heavy Metals The 1994 Oslo Protocol on Further Reduction of Sulphur Emissions The 1991 Geneva Protocol on the Control of Emissions of VOC or their Transboundary Fluxes The 1988 Sofia Protocol on the Control of Emissions of NOx or their Transboundary Fluxes The 1985 Helsinki Protocol on the Reduction of Sulphur Emissions or their Transboundary Fluxes by at least 30% The 1984 Geneva Protocol on Long-term Financing of the Cooperative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe (EMEP)

4 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " EUROPEAN MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROGRAMME (EMEP) The European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) is a scientifically based and policy driven programme under the CLRTAP It relies on three main elements: (1) collection of emission data, (2) measurements of air and precipitation quality and (3) modelling of atmospheric transport and deposition of air pollutions. Five EMEP Centres and four Task Forces undertake efforts in support of the EMEP work plan.

5 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " EMEP CENTRES

6 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " EMEP TASK FORCES

7 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS The Executive Body for the CLRTAP adopted revised guidelines for reporting emissions and projections data in 2013, which update and upgrade respective previous document from The guidebook is issued in English and Russian:

8 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " This project is funded EMEP/EEA AIR POLLUTANT EMISSION INVENTORY GUIDEBOOK 2013 Part A: general guidance chapters Key category analysis and methodological choice Data Collection Time Series Consistency Uncertainties Inventory Management, Improvement and QA QC Spatial mapping of emissions Projections

9 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " This project is funded PART B: SECTORAL GUIDANCE CHAPTERS Part A: general guidance chapters Energy Industrial processes and product use Agriculture Waste Other sources

10 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " METHOD TIERS - EMISSIONS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF COMPLEXITY OF THE INVENTORY Tier 1 method is a simple method using default emission factors only. In Tier 2 method, the default emission factors should be replaced by country-specific or technology-specific emission factors. A Tier 3 method could be regarded as a method that uses the latest knowledge and more sophisticated approaches and models.

11 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " EXAMPLE OF TIER 1 - COMBUSTION IN ENERGY PRODUCTION

12 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " EXAMPLE OF TIER 2 - COMBUSTION IN ENERGY PRODUCTION

13 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " EXAMPLE OF TIER 3 COMBUSTION IN ENERGY PRODUCTION Many combustion installations are major facilities and emission data for individual plants is available through a pollutant release and transfer registry (PRTR) or another national emission reporting scheme.

14 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " CHOICE OF METHOD Decision tree for combustion in energy transformation industries

15 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " REPORTING PROGRAMME Parties to the CLRTAP Convention are required to report on the substances for N-2 year. Emission data should be submitted to the CEIP by 15 February. IIR (Informative Inventory Reports) and projection reports should be provided no later than by 15 March, Gridded data and Large Point Sources by 1 May. EU may deliver the respective documents 1-2 months later.

16 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " EMISSIONS REPORTING TEMPLATE

17 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " This project is funded INFORMATIVE INVENTORY REPORT (IIR) Introduction 1.1 National Inventory Background 1.2 Institutional arrangements 1.3 Inventory preparation process 1.4 Methods and data sources 1.5 Key Categories 1.6 QA/QC and Verification methods 1.7 General uncertainty evaluation 1.8 General Assessment of Completeness Explanation of key trends Sectoral Methodologies Recalculations and Improvements Projections WOM, WEM, WAM

18 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " REPORTING OF GRIDDED EMISSIONS

19 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " REPORTING OF LARGE POINT SOURCES

20 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " This project is funded VISUALISATION OF GRIDDED EMISSIONS

21 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " PERIODIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Each Party shall report, through the Executive Secretary of the Commission, to the Executive Body, on a periodic basis information on the measures that it has taken to implement the present Protocol. Moreover: Where a Party applies different emission reduction strategies; Where a Party judges certain limit values, not to be technically and economically feasible, taking into consideration the costs and advantages, it shall report and justify this;.

22 "Technical Assistance to Support the Development of Green Economy in " BELARUS CONTRIBUTION Regular reporting NFR emissions and Informative Inventory Reports; Spatial Maps; Participation in Task Forces, Work Groups ; Top-Down or Bottom-Up approach?
