This deliverable is primarily to present the final round of factsheets for the scientific review article on multi-gas GHG budgets. There are four main factsheets for CO2 land, CO2 fossil, CH4, and N2O. The creation process is undergoing automation to permit the production of all four of these factsheets for every single country and group of countries considered in the project. The first round of factsheets presented the concept for the EU27+UK, while subsequent rounds of the factsheets advance the automation process. The factsheets for each component, and each region, have a similar design. The top-left of each fact sheet shows a figure based on inventories submitted by Member States to the UNFCCC, where decennial changes in the overall trend are broken-down by sector. This is to provide a link to WP1 and to set the remaining figures in context. The top right shows a map of Europe and highlights the region under consideration to orient the viewer. The bottom part of the figure shows a comparison of sectoral emissions by bottom-up methods and a comparison of the bottom-up and top-down methods. All uncertainties are shown. The full set of country-specific factsheets are available via the VERIFY web portal, and the factsheets will be updated with each new GHG synthesis.
