     II. Setting the scene: the state of play

A presentation by the CGE highlighting the importance of having in place a robust and quality data as a basic foundation for implementation of the existing measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) arrangements under the Convention and the enhanced transparency framework under the Paris Agreement. It provided an overview of how the CGE in 2019 assisted developing country Parties to institutionalize data management for their national GHG inventories. Further, an overview of its findings from the assessment undertaken in 2019 to better understand the existing and emerging constraints, needs and gaps in relation to the existing MRV arrangements and the enhanced transparency framework was presented.

     III. Institutionalizing data management - country experiences and lessons learned

In this session, a developed country Party (Australia) and a developing country (Indonesia) Party presented a concrete example of how data management is institutionalized through live demonstration of its data management system in place and sharing of experiences and lessons learned in developing and maintaining the system. Specifically, the presentations :

  • Showcased the data management system in place, including live demonstration of the system; and
  • Addressed two key questions:
    • What were key lessons learned in the process of institutionalizing data management?  In other words, what were the key success factors and how did they benefit the process?

    • What were key challenges and constraints you faced in that process and how did you overcome it? What remains to be addressed?

     IV. Plenary discussions

Building on the two country presentations, the country representatives in the plenary were invited to share their own county experiences by addressing the two questions above.

In addition, those participants in the room involved in supporting developing country Parties in the area of the existing MRV arrangements and the enhanced transparency framework were invited to respond to these two questions:

  • In your on-going and/or planned initiatives, is there any support available that responds to the constraints, needs and gaps expressed by developing country Parties?
  • If not, do you foresee any prospect of designing your future support initiatives to cater to those constraints, needs and gaps?
