Description of the content of each folder: A-IPCC Sector: Contains various greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions files by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sector and by gas, for all years, for Canada and for provinces and territories.

B-Economic Sector: Contains various GHG emissions files by Economic sectors, for all years for Canada and for the latest year for provinces and territories. Emissions are also presented by gas for Canada. In the EN_GHG_Econ_Canada file, a tab containing the relationship between IPCC sector and Economic sector is also provided.

C-Tables Electricity Canada Provinces Territories: Contains summary and GHG intensity tables for Electricity in Canada.

D-Emission Factors: Contains files with information on emission factors.

E-LULUCF: Contains time-series estimates for the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector, geomatics files containing estimates attributed to spatial units, and a multi-year forestry improvement plan.

F-Agriculture: Contains time-series estimates for the Agriculture sector and geomatics files containing estimates attributed to spatial units.

G-Additional NIR Annexes: Contains Annex 1 (key categories), Annex 2 (uncertainty), Annex 3 (methodologies), Annex 4 (sectoral and reference approaches, and national energy balance), Annex 5 (completeness), Annex 7 (ozone and aerosol precursors) and Annex 8 (rounding protocol) of the National Inventory Report (NIR).
