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.

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.
