Description

The primary service is the participation of five experts in reviews of Inventories during the 2017 review process. Each reviewer will review up to five individual country GHG inventories during a one week period in September. For three reviewers this week will be spent in Bonn with the other expert reviewers in their review group (requiring T&S support). The other two will be reviewing countries at their usual place of work. They will be required to pre-prepare questions and then work with the rest of the review team during the review week itself to check their assigned inventories' compliance with the IPCC 2006 Reporting Guidelines for Inventories. On the Saturday of that week they will prepare a list of issues for immediate action, and then spend several subsequent weeks - sometimes several months - finalising the full review report for each country.

Additional text

Competition is absent for technical reasons because there is no alternative to a single tender action approach, as only experts who have completed the UNFCCC 'Roster of Experts' training and passed the subsequent exam are eligible to be a UNFCCC Expert Reviewer of Inventories, and only experts invited by the UNFCCC can participate.
