The paper proposes a solution for compliance proving and emission trading in case of uncertainties in reported emission inventories. It is based on the undershooting concept, from which both mathematical conditions for proving compliance with a risk α, and for calculation of effective emission for trading is derived. With respect to the reported emission unit the effective permit is reduced proportionally to the inventory uncertainty measure. This way a country with higher uncertainty of its inventory is allotted less of effective permits than another country with the same inventory but smaller uncertainty.
