Defined data inputs, including a matrix of animal categories (farming systems per animal groups/ production systems) for the collection of data (on animal numbers and technical parameters) and computation of Tier 2 emissions
A report on the data gaps and propose data acquisition protocols
A climate change mitigation assessment for the livestock sector to identify the most effective methods to reduce methane and the co-benefits for health, and air pollution
Training on developing the Tier 2 greenhouse gas inventory and applying IPCC Tier 2 methods and associated guidelines and tools
A report on the climate change indicators, data collection and processing procedures, and recommendations on the organizations from which indicator data can be obtained for the agriculture sector
