The main source of the estimate is indicated in the first column. Where estimates from multiple time points exist an arrow is used to indicate lower and upper values. Where available, uncertainties corresponding to the 95% confidence intervals are shown in brackets. The highest of UNFCCC’s Tiers for which the estimate is appropriate, is indicated in the final column.
