Components of the Information system
• To understand national GHG inventory data (Clarify data sources, base year, categories, emission factors, activity factors, etc.)
• Methodological between GHG emission inventories (2010 – BUR and 2012 –Third NatCom)
GHG national and sectorial emissions - baseline
• Identify the mitigation actions included in the baseline, assumptions for their quantification, categories, etc.
• Sectorial data sources• Inventariability
Policies and actions – baseline
• Drivers population• growth, GDP and• fuel prices)• Methodology• Key stakeholders
Projections and assumptions
Accountability elements
Fuente: IDEAM, 2016
• New reporting challenges - similar scenario ofunderstanding and development of information systemsthan other countries
• Advances on legal and institutional arrangements butneeds on technological including interoperabilitydevelopments based on he existing elements
• Analysis from the relation of the economic activities inthe country with GHG inventory categories to the designof a technological solution
• Finalization of the first phase – design of the SINGEI andplanning he second phase to develop the SINGEI

RALI GHG MRV Harmonization Framework
The USAID RALI project developed a six-step framework that countries can use to guide the harmonization of data from mitigation activities with the
national GHG inventory.
Standardized Data Collection

• Entities (e.g., government ministries/departments, academia, implementers) submit their activity data into SINGEI

Discussion
• Questions?– Common challenges– Common solutions– Novel solutions
29
Discussion
• Questions?–Have you experienced similar challenges in inventory
development?–Do you have experience using similar systems?–How can the development of SINGEI complement the
platforms/tools being designed in other countries or regions?–What are some opportunities to increase efficiency in
development?–Are there other challenges to development or adoption? What
are some solutions?
30
The SINGEI solution is replicable
• RALI is turning the vision into a set of technical specifications for IT developers in a future phase
• SINGEI will institutionalize elements of the national inventory system, adding efficiency and reducing reliance on any individual
• The principles and architecture are broadly applicable to other countries/institutions
• Potential to work collaboratively as the system design moves into the next phase
31
The SINGEI solution supports TACCC
• SINGEI institutionalizes the TACCC principles and strong National Inventory Systems
– Institutional arrangements: templates and system interoperability
– Methods and data documentation: held inside the system
– Archiving and transparency: system stores version histories, including original data as provided plus data decisions made by sector leads
– Completeness, comparability and accuracy: automated QC and uncertainty analysis
– Timeseries consistency: data versioning, methodology updates, and splicing techniques
– Incorporating mitigation action: interoperability of SINGEI with Colombia’s mitigation registry, using RALI’s Mitigation and Inventory Harmonization Framework

How is RALI working with Colombia on MRV?
• Colombia has committed to reductions relative to BAU
• National inventories will show increasing emissions; while mitigation activities will slow emissions growth
• Countries need to harmonize mitigation MRV with the national emission inventory/BUR process
• Systems are needed to institutionalize and streamline inventory production
34

36
RALI GHG MRV Harmonization Framework
The USAID RALI project developed a six-step framework that countries can use to guide the harmonization of data from mitigation activities with the
national GHG inventory.
Step 1: Identify and Map GHG Effects
• Define the mitigation policy or action• Map the causal chain of the policy outcomes and GHG
effects
37
Source: GHG Protocol’s Policy and Action Standard
Step 2: Map GHG Effects to Inventory
• Map GHG impacts from mitigation activity to standardized sectors and source categories from IPCC
• Identify which drivers of GHG emissions will be impacted by mitigation activity
• E.g., “Activity will reduce fuel oil consumed in the residential sector”
38
Step 3: Bottom-Up / Top-Down MRV
39
Top-Down AssessmentAssess data, methodologies, and
emission factors used in the national inventory
Bottom-Up AssessmentAssess data, methodologies, and
emission factors used for the mitigation action or policy

Target Year
Step 4: Identify Needs to Harmonize
40
Top-Down AssessmentAssess data, methodologies, and
emission factors used in the national inventory
Bottom-Up AssessmentAssess data, methodologies, and
emission factors used for the mitigation action or policy
Is activity data granular enough and collected frequently
enough?
Is methodology used capable of capturing mitigation actions?
Are emission factors specific and updated frequently enough?
Are splicing techniques needed to
adopt better sub-sector data?

SplicingTechniques
Step 5: Prioritize Improvements
Prioritize improvements to inventory or mitigation activity MRV using a decision framework. Example:
41
Highest priority: AFOLU expected to play significant role in reaching NDC target
Middle priority: Energy results in significant emissions but projects are not yet defined
Lowest priority: Transportation already collects robust information annually at the municipal level
Step 6: Implement and Harmonize
Work with project implementers, agencies, and other key stakeholders to modify current inventory and mitigation MRV systems to address gaps. This could include:• Defining additional data requirements• Institutional arrangements• Frequency/rigor of data collection• Improving Tier of inventory methodologies• Splicing subnational data with national data
