Sector division used in the National Communications and Biennial Reports

[l-emele]

Description of the issue

Projections submitted as National Communication or Biennial Report to UNFCCC use a common sectoral structure:

• Energy
• Transport
• Industry/industrial processes and product use
• Agriculture
• Forestry/LULUCF
• Waste management/waste
• Other

See e.g. page 39 of this UNFCCC document.

Ideas of solution

Add sector division individual for NC/BR, a label has to be found

Add sector individuals:

• NC/BR sector: energy, has parts:
  • 1.A.1 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): energy industry
  • 1.A.4 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): fuel combustion - other sectors
  • 1.A.5 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): fuel combustion - other
• NC/BR sector: transport, same individual as: 1.A.3 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): transport
• NC/BR sector: industry / industrial processes and product use, has parts:
  • 1.A.2 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): manufacturing industries and construction
  • 2 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): industrial processes and product use
• NC/BR sector: agriculture, same individual as 3 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): agriculture
• NC/BR sector: forestry/LULUCF same individual as 4 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): land use, land-use change and forestry
• NC/BR sector: waste management/waste: same individual as 5 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): waste
• NC/BR sector: other: same individual as 6 CRF sector (IPCC 2006): other

Regarding the definitions of the sector individuals, I think the following structure is sufficient: NC/BR sector: ABC is an XYZ energy sector defined by the UNFCCC reporting guidelines on national communications for Parties included in Annex I to the Convention.

Workflow checklist

• [ ] I discussed the issue with someone else than me before working on a solution
• [ ] I already read the latest version of the workflow for this repository
• [ ] The goal of this ontology is clear to me

I am aware that

• [ ] every entry in the ontology should have a definition
• [ ] classes should arise from concepts rather than from words
