Expression of Interest (EOI) and request for technical and financial proposals to develop an online community-based Measurement, Reporting and Verifying System (MVR) at county level on carbon emission

MRV typically refers to the measurement, reporting and verification of emissions and removals of greenhouse gases.

Countries report to the UNFCCC through National Communications that include inventories setting out GHG emissions and removals in the agriculture; energy (including transport); land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF); industrial processes; and waste sectors. Countries follow guidelines and protocols developed and approved by the IPCC to develop their inventories. GHG measurement and targets for the NCCAP (2018-2022) are set at the sector level (i.e., six mitigation sectors) for the five-year period. Setting annual emission targets and measuring emissions at a project level or County/sub-national level would be extremely costly and resource-intensive.

GHG emissions reporting at the County level would mean a bottom-up assessment that is time-consuming and likely would provide limited information to drive the transformative change needed for large-scale emission reductions.
