Events: “How to Make Asia into Low Carbon Society: the role of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) and opportunity for partnership” organized by IGES on 5 Mar 2013

International Symposium
“How to Make Asia into Low Carbon Society: the role of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) and opportunity for partnership”

In order to establish low-carbon society in Asia, it is important to design policy and measures to facilitate the introduction of low-carbon technologies and services in a broad segment of society, along with certain greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting methodologies. 

In this context, it is imperative to develop appropriate methodology for MRV (measureable, reportable and verifiable) that could be used to determine both emissions and their reductions achieved by various stakeholders including central and local governments, private companies and NGOs.

In this symposium attended by overseas guest speakers, IGES will share the latest progress and lessons learned from the IGES-wide project for MRV.
