Finally, implementing reliable systems for monitoring, reporting and verification of emissions remains a major task.
Greater institutional coordination, equitable benefit sharing mechanisms, and higher community capacity for monitoring, reporting, and verification are key areas needing change.
As there are substantial differences between countries regarding the capacities and implemented assessment systems for monitoring, reporting and validating carbon stock changes, the IPCC-guidelines provide three tiers of detail for reporting.
They aim to set standards for different aspects, such as greenhouse gas (GHG) quantification, for social and environmental aspects, for monitoring, reporting and verification, as well as for registration of VERs.
To the best of our knowledge, no independent emission tracking system with sufficient accuracy exists today that can be employed for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of the claimed emission reductions.
We note that rapid developments in accessibility in the study area over its 10-year period also emphasize the need for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) schemes that include frequent updates to data and risk projections to ensure that mitigation strategies continue to be effective.
And there needs to be agreement on the process for monitoring, reporting and verifying the agreed upon emissions reductions.
For monitoring, reporting and listing alone are not enough.
Based on knowledge and experience gained during the past four to five years, it is vital for UNICEF to take a strong stand and make a clear statement on its contribution to fighting child labour, to provide clear guidance on effective strategies at the country level, and to develop an adequate framework for monitoring, reporting, and evaluation.
