The key objective of this national inventory is to estimate the total amount of GHG emissions and removals by the sink. This will be done according to the international guidelines set by the IPCC in 1996 or 2006 so as to develop a credible estimation in the national context which will then be communicated to the UNFCCC as per the prescribed format. This will also provide an authentic base for the country to comply with national and international GHG mitigation schemes
