Legal Justification

To enable a parallel inventory to be developed to include the changes required by the Wetland Supplement and other improvements to the greenhouse gas and air quality inventories required before March 2021. In the absence of the work, it would not have been possible to provide ministers with options for inclusion before COP26 or after CCC advice is received. Only inclusion or exclusion of wetlands would be possible which would either weaken our position at COP26 and in the UNFCCC 2021 review.
