This module consists of four lessons. Lesson 1 (Overview) covers background information on Agricultural source categories and the emissions process, as well as relevant aspects of the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines and the IPCC Good Practice Guidance. In Lesson 2 (Review Issues), you will examine key review issues in this sector.

For Lesson 3, (Exercises) you will work with a set of exercises which will sharpen your understanding of the background information given and issues raised in the previous lessons.

Prerequisite: You must complete Lessons 1 and 2 before taking Lesson 3.

In Lesson 4 ( Case Studies) you will examine two case studies and do the following:

• Evaluate the quality of Agriculture Sector emission estimates (e.g., methods, activity data and emission factors) submitted by a Party.
• Assess the quality of a Party’s system used in preparing the Agriculture Sector portion of its national GHG inventory submission.
• Determine if a Party’s reporting on Agriculture Sector meets transparency requirements.

Prerequisite: You must complete Lesson 3 before taking Lesson 4.

Please note that self-check quizzes, provided at the beginning of each lesson, will help you determine whether you should spend additional time reviewing relevant IPCC and/or UNFCCC materials before continuing.
