Monitoring – Reporting – Verification (MRV) of GHGs and Air Quality pollutants

Event details
Description
Belarus is in the process of developing a system for the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) for greenhouse gas emissions for large emitters in line with its obligations under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement. These enterprises not only release GHGs, but also a range of air quality (AQ) pollutants. Some countries have MRV systems which jointly consider GHGs and AQ pollutants. The purpose of this meeting is for the national government and other stakeholders to exchange views on the design of its MRV systems in line with the Paris Agreement implementation plans of Belarus. The Clima East representatives – experts of the project and its Expert Facility - will provide assessment and insights about MRV system design options applicable for Belarus.
