Electronic Materials
As a reviewer, you will receive most of the information you need
to complete the review from the UNFCCC Secretariat. Much of this
information will be transferred to you in electronic form weeks
before the review actually begins. Included with these electronic
files will be each Party’s National Inventory Report (NIR),
Common Reporting Format (CRF) tables, the Locator tool, as well
as a wealth of other information, including inventories submitted
by each Party in previous years and other review tools (e.g., Status
Report, Synthesis and Assessment report).
The type of information you will receive is illustrated in the figure.
These materials are in 6 separate compressed files (i.e., zip files),
which you will have to download and then uncompress (i.e., unzip
or extract). The screen shot on the right illustrates how to unzip
these files using the built in program in Windows.
The links to these zip files are as follows:
[Please note that the Locator Tool will take about an hour to download depending on your internet connection.]
2008 Locator Tool (~ 131 MB)
Once all 6 files are downloaded and extracted (i.e., unzipped or
uncompressed), you should have the file structure as illustrated
in the screen shot. Materials for the Greece, Luxemburg, Slovakia,
Ukraine, New Zealand, and Austria are included.
Each Party's folder includes its Common Reporting Format (CRF)
tables, National Inventory Report (NIR) files, and its Status Report.
The last folder includes a reduced version of the Secretariat's
Locator database tool containing CRF data. You simply have to double
click on the "Locator.exe" file to start the Locator program.
