The Convention came into force on 21 March 1994,  three months after receiving its 50th ratification. All Parties to the  Convention are required to compile, periodically update, and publish  national inventories of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and  sinks using comparable methodologies. In support of this process, the  US Country Studies Program (US CSP) is providing financial and  technical assistance to 56 developing and transition countries for  conducting national inventories. \u003cbr\u003e  This book presents the results of preliminary national inventories  prepared by countries participating in the US CSP that are ready to  share their interim findings. In some cases, inventories were prepared  with support from other organizations. Preliminary inventories of  twenty countries in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and the  Newly Independent States, and Latin America are presented, as well as  regional and global syntheses of the national results. The regional  and global syntheses also discuss results of eleven other preliminary  national inventories that have been published elsewhere with the  assistance of other programs. Results are discussed in the context of  national and regional socioeconomic characteristics, and the regional  and global syntheses compare national inventory estimates to other  published estimates that are based largely on international databases.  Papers also discuss inventory development issues, such as data  collection and emission factor determination, and problems associated  with applying the IPCC inventory methodologies. \u003cbr\u003e  The preliminary inventory results reported here represent significant  progress towards meeting country commitmentsunder the Framework  Convention, and provide useful information for refining international  greenhouse gas emission databases and improving inventory  methodologies. As the first book to compile national greenhouse gas  emission estimates prepared by national experts in developing  countries and countries with economies in transition, this will be an  invaluable resource to scientists, policymakers, and development  specialists in national, regional and global anthropogenic sources and  sinks of greenhouse gases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048147274\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048147274\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1722-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 389\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343267098764,"sku":"9789048147274","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048147274_e8d55a53-8bfc-4938-8d7d-12d0d0cba6a9.jpg?v=1755050654","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048147274","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
