The Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (TFI) was established by the IPC to oversee the IPC National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme (IPCC-NGGIP). The core activity is to develop and refine an internationally-agreed methodology and software for the calculation and reporting of national GHG emissions and removals and to encourage its use by countries participating in the IPC and by parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Capitalism (UNFCCC). The NGGIP also established and maintains an Emission Factor Database.
