Sparse, but it's still a step up from what we had before.

Agree. And two years in a row - can almost do some trend analysis!

Who will be the first to join the dots and extrapolate? :-)

China's reporting to the UNFCCC.

In addition there were National Communications, some of which before the first BUR.

Perhaps it is under “land use” but shouldn’t construction be listed?

robbieandrew.bsky.social•42 days ago

These are IPCC categories ('sectors'). Energy use in construction is included under the Energy sector.

A large part of emissions from construction isn’t energy though. But as long as it accounts for the total emissions from concrete etc then it’s fine.

Emissions from the decomposition of carbonates in cement production are included in the Industrial Processes sector.

To compare, a few other countries doing a top job with their submissions, despite lower national incomes and/or arguably less well staffed statistical offices...

Even the Vatican!

(Those industry process emissions are HFCs from fridges and aircon btw).
