Although it is one of the smallest European countries, facing major development challenges, economic transition and lack of capacities, Montenegro was the first country in the Eurasia region to submit a standalone National Inventory Report (NIR) that has been prepared already following the guidelines of the “Modalities, procedures and guidelines” (MPGs). The repot called the “Montenegrin National Inventory Report” is submitted to the UNFCCC in September 2023, and is covering the period from 1990 to 2021.
