+* Guyana has changed data for data presented in CO2 equivalents, e.g. all Kyoto GHG basket time series. Probably the underlying GWPs have changed. Be careful when using the data.
+* Honduras has additional data for 2005 and 2015 for most but not all category and gas combinations
+* Israel has added data for 2016 - 2018. Data for previous years have changed slightly for most sectors and gases.

 Note also the following footnotes from the data interface:
 
 > Note 1: The reporting and review requirements for GHG inventories are different for Annex I and non-Annex I Parties. The definition format of data for emissions/removals from the forestry sector is different for Annex I and non-Annex I Parties.
 
 > Note 2: Base year data in the data interface relate to the base year under the Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC). The base year under the Convention is defined slightly different than the base year under the Kyoto Protocol. An exception is made for European Union (KP) whereby the base year under the Kyoto Protocol is displayed.
 
-> Note 3: Some non-Annex I Parties submitted their GHG inventory data using the format of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines in reporting GHG emissions/removals. For this reason, these data could not be included in the data interface. However, the data are available in the national communications (Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, Cabo Verde, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Colombia, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Grenada, Ghana, Indonesia, Iran, Jamaica, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, Mongolia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Panama, Oman, Republic of Moldova, Rwanda, Samoa, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Somalia, South Africa, Suriname, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, and Viet Nam) and biennial update reports (Afghanistan, Andorra, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Benin, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, El Salvador, Ghana, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mauritania, Mexico, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Oman, Panama, Paraguay, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Singapore, South Africa, Tajikistan, Togo, Tunisia, Uruguay, and Uganda).
