The “Guidelines for the technical review
of information reported under the Convention related to greenhouse gas inventories, biennial
reports and national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention”
were adopted by Parties at COP 20 in Lima as contained in decision 13/CP.20. These
review guidelines provide a solid foundation for the technical reviews of national
communications and biennial reports. Reviews are co-ordinated by the secretariat and conducted
by international expert review teams (ERTs). The purpose of the review by ERTs is to provide a
thorough and comprehensive technical assessment of the implementation of the Convention by
Annex I Parties, and to ensure that the COP has sufficient information to carry out its
responsibilities to review the implementation of the Convention. The outcome from the reviews
is reflected in review reports, which are prepared under the collective responsibility of the
ERT.

In accordance with the “Guidelines for
the technical review of information reported under the Convention related to GHG inventories,
BRs and NCs by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention” included in annex to
decision 23/CP.19, the
secretariat shall facilitate annual meetings of the lead reviewers (LRs) for GHG inventories,
BRs and NCs.

The RPG 2018 is based on RPG 2017 and includes
issues agreed by LRs at their 5th meeting (held on 28 February and 1 March 2018 in Bonn,
Germany). It presents suggested approaches to address the review challenges and
reflects collective and cumulative NC and BR review practice gained during the reviews of
BR1s/NC6s and BR2s.

Training for Reviewers

To ensure that the review process is comprehensive and rigorous, the secretariat has prepared training
courses for reviewers of BRs and NCs.
Only experts who successfully pass the exam can participate in the reviews.
