I. Introduction

1. This report covers the review of the Year annual submission of #Party organized by the UNFCCC secretariat, in accordance with the “Guidelines for review under Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol” (decision 22/CMP.1 as revised by decision 4/CMP.11) (hereinafter referred to as the Article 8 review guidelines). As indicated in the Article 8 review guidelines, this review process also encompasses the review under the Convention, as described in the“Guidelines for the technical review of information reported under the Convention related to greenhouse gas inventories, biennial reports and national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention” (hereinafter referred to as the UNFCCC review guidelines) and particularly part III, “UNFCCC guidelines for the technical review of greenhouse gas inventories from Parties included in Annex I to the Convention.” The review took place from date to date month year in City, Country, and was coordinated by Review Officer (UNFCCC secretariat). Table 1 provides information on the composition of the expert review team (ERT).

2. This report contains findings based on the assessment by the ERT of the Year annual submission against the Article 8 review guidelines. The ERT has made recommendations to resolve those findings related to issues,1 including issues related to problems.2 Other findings, and if applicable, the ERTs encouragements to resolve them, are also included. [In accordance with the Article 8 review guidelines, the ERT recommends [adjustments][an adjustment] to the Year annual submission (see paras. X–X below). All recommendations and encouragements in this report are for the next annual submission, unless otherwise specified.

3. A draft version of this report was communicated to the Government of #Party which [provided no comments] [provided comments that were considered and incorporated, as appropriate, into this final version of the report].

4. Annex I shows GHG emissions from sources included in Annex A to the Kyoto Protocol (hereinafter referred to as Annex A sources), emissions and removals from the LULUCF sector under the Convention and emissions and removals from activities under Article 3, paragraph 3, forest management under Article 3, paragraph 4, and, additional activities under Article 3, paragraph 4, of the Kyoto Protocol (KP-LULUCF), if elected, by gas, sector and activity.

5. Information to be included in the compilation and accounting database can be found in annex IV to this report.

6. The ERT notes that owing to the delay in the 2015 annual submission, consistent with decision 6/CMP.9, paragraph 4, the review of this 2016 annual submission is being held in conjunction with the review of the 2015 annual submission, in accordance with decision 10/CMP.11, paragraph 1. To the extent that identical information is presented in both annual submissions, the ERT has reviewed this information only once and, as appropriate, has replicated the findings below in both the 2015 and 2016 annual review reports.

II. Summary and general assessment of the Year annual submission

7. Table 2 provides the ERT’s assessment of the annual submission with respect to the tasks undertaken during the review. Further information on the issues identified below, as well as additional findings, may be found in tables 3 and 5 below.

a References in parentheses are to the paragraph(s) and the year(s) of the previous review report(s) where the issue was raised. Issues are further classified as defined in decision 13/CP.20, annex, paragraph 81. In the review of the supplementary information reported in accordance with Article 7, the ERT has applied the classification in decision 22/CMP.1, annex, paragraph 69 in conjunction with 4/CMP.11.

b An asterisk is included next to each issue type for all issues which are also problems, as defined in paragraphs 68 and 69 of the annex to decision 22/CMP.1, including those that lead to an adjustment or a question of implementation.

c The review of the 2016 annual submission is being held in conjunction with the review of the 2015 annual submission, and as such, the 2015 annual review report was not available at the time of this review. Therefore, the recommendations reflected in table 3 are from the 2014 annual review report. For the same reason, the year 2015 is excluded from the list of years in which the issue has been identified.

IV. Issues identified in three successive reviews and not addressed by the Party

9. In accordance with paragraph 83 of the UNFCCC review guidelines, the ERT noted that the issues included in table 4 have been identified in three or more successive reviews, including the review of the Year annual submission of #Party, and have not been addressed by the Party.

11. Option 1. The ERT has not identified the need to apply any adjustments to the 2015 annual submission of #Party.

Option 2: A (for Annex A sources): The ERT identified [underestimations in emissions [overestimation in recovery] estimates for Annex A sources for year and recommended [an][x] adjustment[s] in the [x, y, z] sector[s].

B (for KP-LULUCF): the ERT identified [errors] [overestimations] [underestimations] in the [removal estimates] [emission estimates] for activities under Article 3, paragraphs 3 and 4, of the Kyoto Protocol and recommended [an] adjustment[s]

12. In accordance with the guidance for adjustments under Article 5, paragraph 2, of the Kyoto Protocol (decisions 20/CMP.1 in conjunction with 4/CMP.11), the adjustment[s] to the [x, y, z] sector[s] [was][were] prepared by the ERT in consultation with #Party. In addition, in accordance with the Article 8 review guidelines, the ERT officially notified #Party of the calculated adjustment[s].

13. A summary of the adjustment[s] [is][are] presented in table 6 below.
