The preparation of the national inventory of emissions is one of
the annual institutional tasks carried our by ISPRA. The inventory
is an essential monitoring tool to hold in check the commitments
made at international level on environmental pollution, such as the
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Kyoto
Protocol, the Geneva Convention on Transboundary Air Pollution
(UNECE- CLRTAP), the European Directives on emissions limiting.
These emissions are reported by the Ministry of Environment to
international organizations.
In particular, based on the provisions of the Framework Convention
on Climate Change, ISPRA produces the National Inventory Report,
which shows the estimating methodologies, the data and emission
factors sources, and illustrates the Quality Assurance / Quality
Control which the inventary is subject to. The National Inventory
Report facilitates the processes of international verification on
the estimates in order to verify their compliance with criteria of
transparency, consistency, comparability, completeness and
accuracy.
