Background
The Greenhouse Gas Management Institute (GHGMI) enables meaningful climate action by governments, corporations, and organizations by growing and supporting a global community of experts and institutions with the highest standards of professional practice in measuring, reporting, verifying (MRV) greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, GHGMI has implemented capacity-building programs and projects to improve GHG MRV and transparency for over 15 years. In a recent study, with collaborators at the Independent Global Stocktake, the Center for Global Sustainability at the University of Maryland, the Council on Energy, Environment and Water, and the Institute of Global Environmental Strategies, we identified relevant indicators and the current availability of data to support collection of those indicators for measuring and evaluating transparency capacity under the GST. This event encouraged stakeholder discussion on how to enhance measurement of capacity progress in climate transparency under the GST.
Objectives
- Increase stakeholder awareness and engagement on measuring capacity progress in climate transparency.
- Enhance and exchange knowledge and information around frameworks for measuring transparency capacity, introducing the framework published here.
- Encourage discussion and connection amongst stakeholders to prioritize and collaborate on future research, measurement, and evaluation under the GST.
