Summary
Approaches to measuring New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions provides an overview of emissions statistics in New Zealand and how they relate to each other. The emissions statistics discussed here include those commonly compiled by countries and produced as official statistics covering multiple source processes at the national level.
The paper summarizes the different approaches countries use to compile emissions statistics and the underlying principles and concepts of each approach and provide guidance on which approach is appropriate to use and when.
