CCXG Global Forum September 2017, BGC Transparency of reporting on mitigation: Issues and options for an enhanced framework by Angela Rivera

1. CLIMATE EXPERT GROUP (CCXG)
Global Forum on the Environment
and Climate Change
BREAKOUT GROUP 3:
TRANSPARENCY OF REPORTING ON MITIGATION :
ISSUES AND OPTIOSN FOR AN ENHANCE
FRAMEWORK

2. MAIN
ISSUES
Comparability
Different capacities reporting mitigation goals
Tracking different mitigation targets
Accounting, tracking and reporting: When and how

3. Different capacities reporting mitigation goals
 Developing country Parties have different reporting capacities
and experience than developed country Parties, specially in:
 Mitigation targets: developing countries had not had formal
mitigation goals until now.
 It is necessary to build capacities and provide technical
support to developing countries.

4. • Information that Parties will provide under the Enhance Transparency
Framework composes an important input for the GST.
• If Parties use different metrics and accounting approaches when they
track progress made in implementing and achieving mitigation goals
under NDCs (or support provided and received), comparability will be
more challenging.
• The big challenge is based on structuring common modalities, procedures
and guidelines for the ETF that ensure comparability and fit diversity of
NDC.
Comparability

5. During the NDC implementation period, Parties should provide information related to de
progress made in implementation of their NDC
Way to track the progress made
Develop
indicators (by
each type of
NDC)
National GHG
inventories
Information
related to
article 6, as
applicable
Tracking different mitigation targets

6. Accounting, tracking and reporting progress: when and how
PARTIES COOMUNICATE A NEW
NDC EVERY FIVE YEARS
Challenge: Capacity is required in
planning, methodologies,
information gathering and
stakeholder involvement process.
1.Parties implement their NDCs
2.Parties include an update of the quantitative reference
information of their NDCs in the biennial transparency
reports.
3. Parties report progress through new biennial
transparency reports
4. Parties improve their reports over time (i.e. accepting
reccomendations provided by technical reviewers).
Challenge: robust methodologies and indicators are
needed to track and report progress.
Parties have to
deliver a
report on the
achievement of
their NDCs.
Challenge: how
to make this
report taking
into diversity
of NDCs?
