answer text <p>The UK is an Annex I party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC adopted the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (<a href="https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/" target="_blank">https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/</a>) for Annex I countries in Decision 24/CP.19. The UK is thus required to make use of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines in the compilation of the UK’s greenhouse gas inventory. These guidelines define four sectors: Energy, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) and Waste. The guidelines also define national greenhouse gas inventories as including only emissions which take place within each country’s territorial boundary. This applies to your question as follows:</p><p>a) emissions from feed produced overseas are out of scope of national greenhouse gas inventories</p><p>b) emissions from transportation are included in the Energy sector</p><p>c) emissions from cooking are included in the Energy sector</p><p>d) emissions from food waste are included in the Waste sector</p><p>e) emissions from refrigeration are included in the Energy and IPPU sectors</p><p>f) emissions from air conditioning are included in the Energy and IPPU sectors</p><p>g) emissions from waste disposal are included in the Waste sector</p><p>h) emissions from soils treated with nitrogen fertilisers are included in the AFOLU sector</p>
