             abstract = "The importance of greenhouse gas inventories cannot be overstated: 
                         the process of producing inventories informs strategies that 
                         governments will use to meet emissions reduction targets. The 
                         Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) leads an effort 
                         to develop and refine internationally agreed upon methodologies 
                         for calculating and reporting greenhouse gas emissions and 
                         removals. We argue that these guidelines are not equipped to 
                         handle the task of developing national greenhouse gas inventories 
                         for most countries. Inventory guidelines are vital to implementing 
                         climate action, and we highlight opportunities to improve their 
                         timeliness and accuracy. Such reforms should provide the means to 
                         better understand and advance the progress countries are making 
                         toward their Paris commitments. Now is the time to consider 
                         challenges posed by the current process to develop the guidelines, 
                         and to avail the policy community of recent major advances in 
                         quantitative and expert synthesis to overhaul the process and 
                         thereby better equip multi-national efforts to limit climate 
                         change.",
