ICAP China Conference on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data Management in Energy Intensive Industries and the Power Sector
Good data management is central to any mitigation activity. Achieving this is a challenge for all of us. Carbon accounting through accurate measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) is fundamental to achieving credible emissions reductions – whether the emission reductions are allowances or offset credits to be traded or sold in a global market. Harmonizing or making standards compatible globally (developed and developing countries alike) for MRV becomes key to ensuring that a ”ton of carbon” has the same meaning throughout the world, and that the units are fully fungible. This is the first conference of its kind that will bring together experts in MRV from developed and developing countries - both government officials and industry experts to engage in technical capacity building discussions on MRV.
