STENGTHENING NATIONAL CAPACITY

Building Expertise in GHG Measurement, Reporting & Verification

Enhancing institutional capacity for measuring, reporting, and verifying (MRV) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a vital component of global initiatives to combat climate change. Strengthening MRV systems enables countries to track progress toward their nationally determined contributions, participate in international climate mechanisms, and access climate finance. Through targeted support in capacity building, institutional design, and technical implementation, we empower governments to take ownership of their climate data and reporting processes—laying the foundation for long-term climate governance and more effective climate action.

PARTNERSHIP

Building Strong GHG MRV Systems

The Greenhouse Gas Management Institute (GHGMI) recognizes the challenges countries face, including limited resources, technical expertise, and institutional infrastructure for strong greenhouse gas MRV systems. As a not-for-profit organization, addressing these challenges is central to our mission. We work in partnership with national governments to strengthen their institutional and technical capabilities, enabling them to meet UNFCCC reporting requirements.

Benefits of a Strong MRV System

A strong MRV system provides a transparent and credible foundation for tracking GHG emissions and removals, assessing progress toward mitigation goals, and informing evidence-based policymaking. By producing consistent, accurate, and comparable data, a robust MRV system enhances accountability at all levels while enabling countries to meet international reporting obligations under the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement.

RECOMMENDED COURSE

501 IPCC: Introduction & Cross-Cutting Issues

A national GHG emissions inventory is fundamental to implementing effective climate action. National governments should be equipped to understand the process of emissions inventorying for Paris Agreement reporting and to prioritize emissions categories for effective mitigation strategies. Our IPCC Guidelines Course series is the perfect place to start learning and is a relied-upon resource for the UNFCCC and many national governments.
