| Note | In Brief–The U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory (PDF, 8 pp., 1.2 MB)
This brochure provides an overview of the U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, including individual greenhouse gases and the emissions sectors. The "Fast Facts" card provides a summary of data from the most recent Inventory. Frequently used reference tables and conversions are also provided in this handy brochure. |
In addition to the sections below, the complete report (PDF, 432 pp., 6.2 MB) is available in Acrobat (pdf) format.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Upfront (PDF, 4 pp., 77 KB) – includes title page, acknowledgments and preface.
Table of Contents (PDF, 14 pp., 107 KB) – full table of contents, and a list of tables and figures.
Executive Summary (PDF, 26 pp., 271 KB) – provides a broad overview of all U.S. greenhouse gas emission sources and sinks, introduces key concepts, and discusses the primary drivers for changes in emissions. All material in the Executive Summary is drawn from the following chapters.
Introduction (PDF, 20 pp., 242 KB) – includes background information on greenhouse gas emission inventories, an introduction to climate change, a discussion of methodological issues and plans for QA/QC and an uncertainty analysis.
