If the requirements for the highest priority adjustment method according to the table are not available, the next preferred adjustment method should be used.

The expert review team should collectively decide on the methodological approach for calculation of any adjustment, including relevant components of the adjustment method (such as data sources, drivers7 and clusters8 used).

Thus, the proposed methods for adjustment for the LUCUCF sector consist of a basic method with the application of a conservativeness factor.

If this adjustment method is used, the IPCC good practice guidance should always be consulted before the IPCC Guidelines.

The selection of data and other components required for an adjustment method should take into account the time series for any such component.

This provision applies to both the basic adjustment method,9 and the main components used in the calculation of the adjustment, as appropriate, such as the source of international data, drivers, clusters and any other inventory parameter used.

If adjustment methods other than those included in this technical guidance are applied, expert review teams should report the reason for not using any of the basic adjustment methods of this technical guidance and should justify why they consider the method chosen as appropriate.

This basic adjustment method refers to default IPCC tier 1 methods as described in the IPCC Guidelines and as elaborated by the IPCC good practice guidance.

In other cases, the expert review team should apply the conservativeness factor to the emission or removal estimate generated by the basic adjustment method, in accordance with paragraph 20 23 above.

In choosing the basic adjustment method and the input data that are appropriate for a specific adjustment case, expert review teams should, in general, follow the methods listed in priority order in table 1, as appropriate, unless otherwise indicated in the sector specific elements included in chapter IV.

If a consistent time series of estimates prepared in accordance with the IPCC good practice guidance is available and no more than two years' estimates are missing, a simple extrapolation of this time series would be the most appropriate adjustment method.

Perspective Adjustment

To ensure conservativeness for the purpose of adjustments, a conservativeness factor should be applied to the specific component of the emission estimation method used by the Party or to the emission removal estimate generated by the basic adjustment methods described in section III.A of this technical guidance.

In the exceptional case where none of the basic adjustment methods listed in table 1 is suitable for a given adjustment case, expert review teams may use other adjustment methods.
