Chapter 5 Cross-Cutting Issues

General Outline Ø Covers issues that are common to all chapters Ø Provides a consistent basis for issues developed further in other chapters Ø Does not duplicate GPG 2000 Ø Focus on LULUCF specific characteristics

Issues Covered Ø Identifying and quantifying uncertainties Ø Sampling Ø Identification of key categories Ø Quality assurance and quality control Ø Time series consistency and recalculations Ø Verification

Identifying and Quantifying Uncertainties Ø Methods to combine uncertainties (including sinks) üTier 1 - Simple propagation of errors üMonte Carlo analysis Ø Practical considerations for quantifying uncertainties of input data ükey types of uncertainty in the LULUCF sector

Sampling Ø Sampling design Ø Sampling methods üArea estimation Ø Uncertainties in sample based surveys üSample size and sample error

Identification of Key Categories Ø Quantitative approaches to determining key categories üexpands the original approach to enable the identification of key categories that are sources or sinks. Ø Qualitative considerations Ø Identifying key categories under Kyoto protocol

Quality Assurance and Quality Control Ø QA/QC Plan Ø QC procedures Ø QA review procedures Ø Documentation, archiving and reporting

Time Series Consistency and Recalculations Ø Time series consistency and methodological change Ø Recalculation and periodic data

Verification Ø Verification Approaches Ø Guidance for verification of LULUCF inventories
