Unified National Platform for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory

This platform is intended to serve as a unified national digital system to organize and manage the collection, calculation, reporting, verification, archiving, and enhancement of greenhouse gas emissions estimates and their removal, in accordance with the methodology of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It will enable the tracking of emissions reduction progress through a transparent digital infrastructure that ensures data quality and allows seamless international integration, supported by the latest technologies and software tools such as business intelligence applications.
