ISO Technical Committee 207 established Working Group 5 to create a standard for the "measurement, reporting and verification of entity- and project-level greenhouse gas emissions." The standard is intended to help organizations integrate greenhouse gas emissions into their environmental management systems. In addition, depending upon how the standard is written, it may also assist companies in complying with national climate change regulations, participating in voluntary reporting initiatives, or entering emerging greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trading markets.

Mongolia: Preliminary 1990 Greenhouse Gas Inventory D. Dagvadorj and M. Munkh-tsetseg Hydrometeorological Research Institute Ministry for Nature and the Environment, Mongolia SUMMARY: Mongolia is the 35th country to have ratified the United Nation's Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). One of the commitments accepted by the country is the submission of a national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory to the world society. At the end of 1993, Mongolia joined the U.S. Country Studies Program and has begun to compile its national GHG inventory. We have used IPCC methods for estimation of this inventory. We prepared initial estimates of anthropogenic emissions of GHG in Mongolia for 1990. Due to the lack of data necessary for calculations, these estimations are not complete and we continue with our efforts to make them more precise. Mongolia's national GHG inventory comprises emissions of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO ), methane (CH ), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), and carbon monoxide (CO) from five main sectors: Energy, Industry, Agriculture, Land-Use Change and Forestry, and Waste. It was estimated that in 1990 emissions from the abovementioned sectors totalled 19,524 Gg carbon dioxide, 330.1 Gg methane, 0.9 Gg nitrogen oxides, and 83.3 Gg carbon monoxide (Table 1) INTRODUCTION In this report, Mongolia presents its atmospheric emissions inventory for the first time. The initial version of the inventory was carried out at the Hydrometeorological Research Institute, Ministry of Nature and Environment, for 1990. We followed the IPCC inventory guidelines (IPCC, 1993).
