Abstract

Subsequent to the release of the Strategic Plan for the National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS) a series of key decisions were taken about the approaches to guide both its administrative development and technical evolution.These decisions ranged from the organisational (such as who will carry out certain functions) to the technical (including the data sources and how these will be incorporated into the system). The design includes the development of the accounting approaches that conform to the requirements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its instruments.
