2. Reviewing Other Analysis Documents

During a real review, after examining the Status Report you should also examine other analysis documents provided by the UNFCCC Secretariat, including:

• Synthesis and Assessment (S&A) report (both Parts I and II)
• Previous review reports for the Party

Part I of the S&A report provides you with useful comparisons of the Agriculture Sector emissions data and related information both across Parties and over the complete time series.  Part II of the S&A report provides a compilation of specific findings (including potential problems) identified during the S&A phase of the review.  This part of the S&A report is shared with the Party concerned, which can provide additional comments and or clarifications before the expert review team begins the third phase of the review (in-country visit, centralized or desk review).

For this case study, we will focus on the Part I of the S&A report.

After examining Part I of the Synthesis and Assessment report, what noteworthy observations can you make that may be relevant to the review of Ukraine’s Agriculture Sector?
