Please make sure that the term Carbon Budget on page 2.4 isconsistent between these guidelines and the 1.5 degree special
report e.g. with respect to anthropogenic versus natural processes.

NorwayAccepted withmodification

In these guidelines, the term "carbon budget" is used in a moregeneric sense than in the other IPCC Reports such as Special
Report on Global Warming of 1.5oC. The definition cannot bechanged in these guidelines, but a note to explain the difference
can be added. See also the comment #1066 (in the expertcomment sheet).

4Please check if in the definition of Carbon dioxide equivalent the"current (2005)" on page 2.4 is updated in accordance with themost recent UNFCCC decisions. Our thinking is that UNFCCC
now has decided to use the AR4 which was published in 2007.

NorwayAccepted withmodification

The description should be changed to avoid referring to"currently" in order to prevent it from being outdated. Morepolicy-neutral definition is better, therefore the definition of"Carbon dioxide equivalent emission" in the Glossary of Special
Report on 1.5 C has been intorduced here to replace the current
definition.

Delete text on the Flooded land proxy as it’s not mentioned inChapter 7.

GeneralGlossary

We think that an explanation of herbaceous biomass should beincluded in the glossary on page 2.9

NorwayRejected

The 2006 Guidelines Glossary's definition includes herbaceous
material by the word "living organisms", so we do not need tochange this definition. See also the comment #1062 (in the expert
comment sheet).

GeneralGlossary

Please perform a thorough quality assurance of the Glossary toassure consitence with the WGs reports, accuracy and omissions.
We suggest that the Glossary should contain all definitions
included in chapter glossaries. Glossaries after separate chapters
are fine, but all definitions need to be collected in one overachingglossary.

NorwayRejected

It is not practical to make the terminology identical to that used in
the WG reports, because the many words have been differently
used by the inventory compiler community than the other WGs
community. It is more important to ensure consistency in thedefinitions of terms with the common practice followed for manyyears in the inventory compiler community. Also, it is notnecessarily helpful to include all terms in the overarching
Glossary, because including all of very sector- or category-specificwords will increase the volume of Glossary which may well makeit less easy to use.
