Indicator 13.10 Domestic net greenhouse gas emissions

For Bosnia and Herzegovina, the indicator is based on data from the National Inventory Document (NID) of Bosnia and Herzegovina, prepared and submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). National data cover greenhouse gas emissions expressed in tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, in accordance with the methodology of the national greenhouse gas inventory. For presentation on this portal, the series of total emissions excluding sinks from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) is used.

The indicator enables monitoring of changes in total greenhouse gas emissions in Bosnia and Herzegovina over time and provides a national presentation of the EU SDG indicator 13.10. The data are based on the official national greenhouse gas inventory submitted by Bosnia and Herzegovina to the UNFCCC. The latest source used is the 2024 National Inventory Document (NID) of Bosnia and Herzegovina, submitted to the UNFCCC on 13 August 2026.

The national data were taken from the National Inventory Document of Bosnia and Herzegovina (NID) and are expressed in tonnes of CO₂ equivalent. For the purpose of monitoring progress on the portal, an emissions index with 1990 as the base year was calculated, with the value for 1990 set at 100. The index is calculated as the ratio of the emissions value in the observed year to the emissions value in 1990, multiplied by 100. The I90 series (1990=100) is used to assess progress. Since the desired direction for this indicator is a reduction in emissions, progress is configured with a negative direction. For the national presentation of short-term progress, the period 2017–2022 was applied, corresponding to the short-term period used in Eurostat’s SDG monitoring for indicator 13.10. The year 2030 is set as the target year in the indicator configuration on the portal. In this way, progress is assessed on the basis of changes in the emissions index over time, with a decrease in the index value representing a favourable direction of movement of the indicator. This approach to calculating progress represents the configuration used for the national presentation of the indicator on the BHAS portal and does not constitute a separate national Eurostat methodology for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared with the 1990 level, in accordance with the commitments and objectives of Bosnia and Herzegovina under the UNFCCC and its national climate policies.
