Methodological issues. Guidelines under Articles 5,7 and 8 of the Kyoto Protocol. Proposal for case studies to simulate the calculation of adjustments under Article 5, paragraph 2, of the Kyoto Protocol. Note by the secretariat.
This paper contains a proposal for the development of case studies for simulating the calculation of adjustments using the methods contained in the draft technical guidance and real inventory data submitted by Parties. It outlines an approach for selecting the cases, and describes how the simulated adjustments would be calculated by applying the methods contained in the draft technical guidance. The proposal in this paper does not include any example calculations of simulated adjustments. The suggested approach and procedures for simulating the calculation of adjustments in this paper may not cover all possibilities. Other options may exist and could be identified by experts and Parties prior to and during the second workshop on this matter or subsequently by the SBSTA
