Overview of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) for developing country Parties under the Climate Change Convention Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe Regional Workshop on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions 12-14 June 2015, Derag Livinghotel Kanzler, Bonn Marion Vieweg-Mersmann, Programme Officer, International Consultation and Analysis Support Unit, Non-Annex I Support Sub-programme, Mitigation, Data and Analysis Programme Presentation outline Overview BUR ICA Overview of the MRV framework Biennial update reports National communications Measurement of GHG emissions and sinks (GHG inventory) International MRV GHG inventory report Mitigation actions and their effects Needs and support received Steps to implement Convention Domestic MRV system Annex III to decision 2/CP.17 Decision 17/CP.8 Domestic MRV Determine arrangements for domestic MRV of domestically supported NAMAs (voluntary) Report on domestic MRV in the BUR Decision 21/CP.19 MRV for REDD-plus (voluntary) Decision 21/CP.19 Report REDD-plus results in a technical annex to the BUR Applies to Parties seeking to obtain and receive payments for results-based actions Decision 14/CP.19 International consultation and analysis Technical analysis of the BURs Facilitative sharing of views Decisions 2/CP.17 and 20/CP.19 BUR context and guidelines: what are the additional reporting obligations for BURs in relation to NCs? Context of reporting BURs from non-Annex I Parties • Effort to enhance reporting in national communications, including inventories, from non-Annex I Parties on mitigation actions and their effects, needs and support received (1/CP.16, paragraph 60) • To serve as an input to the process (international consultation and analysis) that aims to increase transparency of mitigation actions and their effects (1/CP.16, paragraph 63) Technical analysis of BURs (output: Submission summary of BURs report) Facilitative sharing of views (record of facilitative sharing of views) International consultation and analysis (initiated within 6 months of submission of a BUR) 5 Key elements of national communications (17/CP.8) National circumstances and institutional arrangements National greenhouse gas inventory Programmes containing measures to facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change General description of steps taken or envisaged National communication from a non-Annex I Party Programmes containing measures to mitigate climate change Transfer of technologies Other information Research and systematic observation Education, training and public awareness Constraints and gaps, and related financial, technical and capacity needs Capacity-building Information and networking Technical annex (optional) Key elements of biennial update reports (2/CP.17, annex III) National circumstances and institutional arrangements relevant to the preparation of the national communications on a continuous basis National inventory of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removal by sinks of all greenhouse gases (GHGs), including a national inventory report Name and description of the mitigation action, including information on the nature of the action, coverage (i.e. sectors and gases), quantitative goals and progress indicators Methodologies and assumptions Objectives of the action and steps taken or envisaged to achieve that action Biennial update report from a nonAnnex I Party Mitigation actions and their effects, including associated methodologies and assumptions Constraints and gaps, and related financial, technical and capacity needs Progress of implementation of the mitigation actions and the underlying steps taken or envisaged, and the results achieved, such as estimated outcomes (metrics depending on type of action) and estimated emission reductions, to the extent possible International market mechanisms Domestic measurement reporting and verification Any other information Technical annex (optional) What is different: NC vis-à-vis BUR (1/2) Decision 17/CP.18: National Communications (I) National circumstances Decision 2/CP.17: BURs (I) National circumstances and institutional arrangements (II) National greenhouse gas inventory (II) National greenhouse gas inventory and • Revised 1996 IPCC guidelines (“should”) inventory report • IPCC GPG-2000 and IPCC GPG-2003 • Revised 1996 IPCC guidelines, IPCC GPG(LULUCF) (“encouraged”) 2000 and IPCC GPG-2003 (LULUCF) • Inventory year: 1994/1990 for INCs and 2000 (“should”) for SNCs • Inventory year: no more than 4 years prior to • Tables 1 and 2 (“encouraged”) submission • Sectoral tables and worksheets • Tables 1 and 2 (“should”) (“encouraged”) • Annex 3A.2 of IPCC GPG-2003 and the • Information on methodologies (“encouraged”) sectoral tables annexed to the Revised 1996 IPCC guidelines (para. 6, annex) (“encouraged”) • Summary information tables of inventories for previous submission years (e.g. for 1994 and 2000) (“encouraged”) • Additional or supporting information may be submitted in a technical annex (“encouraged”) • Time series - provide a consistent time series back to the years reported in the previous national communications (“encouraged”) What is different: NC vis-à-vis BUR (2/2) Decision 17/CP.18: National Communications (III) General description of steps….to implement the Convention (a) Programmes and measures to mitigate • General requirements • Methods and assessment /analysis (results) (b) Programmes and measures to adapt to climate change (vulnerability and assessment) (IV) Constraints and gaps and related financial, technical and capacity needs (V) Other relevant information (transfer of technology; research and systematic observation; education, training and public awareness; capacity-building; information and networking) (VI) Submission: every 4 years Decision 2/CP.17: BURs (III) Mitigation actions and their effects • Methodologies and assumptions • Objectives of the action and steps taken or envisaged to achieve that action • Progress of implementation and the underlying steps taken or envisaged, and the results achieved, such as estimated outcomes (metrics depending on type of action) and estimated emission reductions, to the extent possible • International market mechanisms • Description of domestic MRV arrangements (IV) Constraints and gaps, related financial, technical and capacity needs, description of support received and needed (V) Any other information…..relevant to the BUR (VI) Submission: every 2 years Support/resources relevant for preparation of BURs Technical assistance for the preparation and the submission of BURs • Training materials on the preparation of BURs • Regional training workshops for non-Annex I Parties on the preparation of BURs Financial support for the preparation and submission of BURs • GEF Policy Guidelines for the financing of biennial update reports for Parties not included in Annex I to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change • Countries can access up to US$352,000 through a GEF Agency or via direct access. If a country requires more than US$352,000, then the resources will be deducted from the countries STAR Allocation • As at June 2014, project proposal to access funds for the preparation of BURs from 36 non-Annex I Parties have been approved. 10 International consultation and analysis: process and outcome Summary report Record of the facilitative sharing of views International consultation and analysis: process and outcome Submission of BURs International consultation and analysis Technical analysis Facilitative exchange of views A workshop under SBI - a one- to three-hour session for each Party or group of Parties Composition of TTE Technical analysis of BURs by TTE Draft summary report (SR) Review and comment on draft SR by the Party concerned Final SR by TTE & the Party concerned Final SR noted by SBI and posted on UNFCCC.int Record of the facilitative sharing of views OUTPUTS OF INTERNATIONAL CONSULTATION AND ANALYSIS A brief presentation by the Party or Parties concerned on their biennial update report, followed by oral questions and answers among Parties Implementation update WORKSTREAM #: 1 Developing and running the training programme for the team of technical experts WORKSTREAM #: 2 Technical analysis of the submitted biennial update reports WORKSTREAM #: 3 Facilitative sharing of views for those Parties whose BURs are analyzed and summary reports are finalized Thank you 14
