Climate EduXchange India is designed to ensure that teachers and students across the country, network and share relevant ideas, initiatives and information on climate change and related issues with the help of various ICT tools. Over the years the project has reached out to approximately 400 schools and has impacted over 150.000 students and 1000 teachers across the country.

Based on the main findings from the Summer School as well as including experiences and debates beyond the Summer School, this knowledge product was developed in order to provide knowledge to climate policy practitioners and experts and help enable them to enhance transparency for planning and implementation of national mitigation actions as well as for tracking progress towards the 2°C objective internationally.

This document is based on on the conclusions from the Autumn School on ‘MRV – today, tomorrow and the future’ of the International Partnership on Mitigation and MRV, which took place in October 2012 in Germany. It summarises the Autumn School’s key findings and provides additional know-how and technical guidance on the design and setting up of domestic MRV systems. Tiered approaches have been included as examples, showing how countries can start with simplified approaches and improve their MRV system over time.

The Autumn School of the International Partnership on Mitigation and MRV focused on the topic ‘MRV – today, tomorrow, and the future’. It was designed as an opportunity for policy makers and planners to gain in-depth knowledge on designing and implementing national MRV systems, including methodologies for data collection, reporting and verification.

The topics discussed by the 28 participants were of high relevance both for the international climate negotiations as well as for domestic processes related to the implementations of decisions already taken or possibly to be taken at the negotiations.
