10 May 2011: The UNFCCC Secretariat has published the report (FCCC/IDR.5/NOR) of the in-depth review of the fifth national communication of Norway (NC5).
The Expert Review Team (ERT) notes that Norway’s NC5 complies with the UNFCCC reporting guidelines. Norway addressed potential problems regarding completeness and transparency that the ERT identified during the review. A revised NC5 was submitted including a new subsection on technology transfer and a revised table on the estimated effects of selected implemented or adopted polices and measures (PaMs), as well as a revised national inventory report (NIR) as part of its 2010 annual submission, with a revised chapter on the minimization of adverse impacts in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 14, of the Kyoto Protocol. The ERT has formulated a number of recommendations that could help Norway to further increase the transparency of its reporting.
