This deliverable is primarily to present the factsheets for observation based GHG budgets for China using the methodology developed in Verify but based on global or regional datasets. There are four main factsheets for CO2 land, CO2 fossil, CH4, and N2O. The creation process is manual but will be open to be automatized to permit the production of updates of these factsheets (if needed). The factsheets for each component will have a similar design to those of EU+UK in WP5. The top-left will show a figure based on inventories submitted by China to the UNFCCC from its biennial update reports, where decennial changes in the overall trend are broken-down by sector. The top right shows a map of China and will highlight the summary of different emissions estimates. 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. Factsheets for China will be available via the project web portal.
