The overall aim of the Partnership is to support a practical exchange on mitigation-related activities and MRV between developing and developed countries in order to help close the global ambition gap. The Partnership is comprised of approximately 90 countries, the majority of which are from developing countries. The International Partnership on Mitigation and MRV has no formal character and is open to new countries. Any country with an ambitious or upcoming climate agenda is very welcome to join.
The second African Regional Workshop Peer-to-peer-exchange on BURs took place on October 15-17 in Berlin, Germany, with participants from Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. This report summarizes the information presented and discussed during the workshop.
Building on the expertise of the participants in their respective topics, coupled with guidance on implementation mechanisms and requirements towards a robust national MRV system through the training, the following main findings were developed:
- MRV Action Plans within four mitigation sectors;
- The mapping of information requests and data flows between institutions present at the workshop;
- A next step assessment focused on institutional and capacity, information and financial barriers for the sectors.
This factsheet provides a brief summary of Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV), covering different aspects, such as the following: - What do the M, R, and V stand for? - Why MRV? - Current gaps - What needs to me 'MRVed'? - Who should undertake MRV?
This report gathers key messages from the Anglophone African Regional Workshop on "Converting (I)NDCs into action: the role of NAMAs in NDC implementation", which tool place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on 2-4 May 2016. On the one hand Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) are an important instrument to assist the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)1 under the Paris Agreement. On the other hand, NDCs can provide long-term targets and hence an important framework for the implementation of NAMAs.
