Summary of the meeting
The main objectives of the 14th Meeting of the Editorial Board (EB14) were to consider data proposals for inclusion
into the EFDB as well as to discuss how to improve the usefulness and enhance the population of the EFDB. The
meeting was held in parallel with the 13th and 14th Expert Meetings on Data for the EFDB (Data Meetings) which
focused on data for Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) and Waste sectors, respectively.
The meetings were hosted by the Republic of Indonesia and organised by the Technical Support Unit (TSU) ofthe IPCC Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (TFI). The lists of participants of the meetings areavailable at http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/meeting/meeting.html
The EB14 was chaired by Co-Chairs of the Editorial Board: Mr. Dario R. Gomez (Argentina) and Ms. Kristina
Saarinen (Finland). The agenda of the meeting is attached.
The Editorial Board considered data proposals including data submitted by experts/participants of the Data
Meetings as well as data collected by TSU, and agreed to include 344 data into the EFDB. The Editorial Board
also identified 12 data for the “extra page” at the EFDB website.
The technical assessment of IPCC Inventory Guidelines which was implemented by IPCC TFI through an on-line
questionnaire survey and four expert meetings in 2015-2016 identified several issues that can be addressed byutilizing the EFDB. The data accepted at the EB14 and Data Meetings include new data for the areas/categories
identified in the technical assessment (e.g. fugitive emissions and emissions from transport, solid waste disposaland wastewater treatment).
In addition, documents on Terms of Reference and Roles and Responsibilities of the Editorial Board wereconsidered at the EB14 and some updates were proposed to reflect the current practices. The Editorial Board
also discussed how to deal with large datasets and agreed to have criteria for consideration and inclusion or
linking of large datasets in the EFDB.
