This event will introduce the SAGE platform, a solution to activity data collection. Parties will share their plans for using SAGE alongside estimation and reporting tools to “process” messy and raw data into complete and clean “usable” data required for GHG inventory and NDC estimation and reporting.

Organized by: GHGMI
Open access activity data and digital tools to help countries and other stakeholders meet their ETF goals
Wednesday, Nov 13 2024 – 16:45-18:15 AZT | Special Event Room 8
The side event will focus on some of the latest innovations and globally available free data products and solutions that are making it much faster and easier to comprehensively measure greenhouse gas emissions. The event will feature experts who will showcase new, free, and open GHG measurement products currently being used by governments and companies to greatly accelerate and simplify the process of producing inventories and mitigation assessments. This event will be of interest to GHG inventory coordinators, expert reviewers, researchers, and nonprofits who are interested in learning about emerging new techniques and data that can be used under the Enhanced Transparency Framework, Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and other GHG reporting frameworks.

Alumni in Action: A Celebration of Collective Progress on Transparency
Thurs, Nov 14 2024 – 18:30-19:30 AZT | Special Event Room 4, Together4Transparency Pavilion
Alumni will share their experience working on climate-related issues with capacity-
building implementation partners and transparency experts. Their perspective is crucial for defining the next cycle of cooperation in transparency. The event will focus on recognizing our appreciation for alumni efforts. We’ll have the opportunity to reconnect around transparency and take away ideas to propose capacity-building support. Please join us for an alumni celebration that will be an informal opportunity to meet GHGMI and UNFCCC staff as well as other GHGMI alumni.
