New Zealand’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory
1990–2008

New Zealand’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990–2008 is the official annual report of all human-caused emissions and removals of greenhouse gases in New Zealand and is a Tier 1 statistic. The inventory measures New Zealand’s progress against its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol as well as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

All Annex I Parties (developed countries) to the UNFCCC and to the Kyoto Protocol are required to submit annual inventories to the UNFCCC secretariat by 15 April. 

A snapshot report provides a summary of the information reported in the inventory.
