IPCC GUIDELINES FOR NATIONAL
GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORIESThe development of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas
Inventories is an ongoing process and the first phase has now been
completed. The Guidelines will need to be updated periodically as betterdata and scientific understanding support better estimation methods. For
this reason, the Guidelines have been published in loose-leaf form to allow
for the insertion of periodical updates. If you wish to receive information
concerning future updates please fill in and return, by mail or fax, thecoupon below. This will result in your registration as a Guidelines user andyou will be notified of subsequent updates and their price.
