Proposed indicators for domestic MRV purposes and tracking progress of NDCs
The overall objective of this report is to provide countries with relevant examples of indicators, which may be used in pursuing domestic monitoring tasks as well as in reporting on progress towards implementation and achievement on Parties’ NDCs.
Such indicators may be particularly helpful to developing countries as a reference to further develop and increase national indicators they will intend to use in pursuing domestic monitoring tasks, as well as in reporting on progress towards implementation and achievement on NDCs in the framework of the Paris Agreement. This report first provides an overview of the current reporting provisions relevant for monitoring progress and using indicators, for both Annex I and non-Annex I Parties (Chapter 1). Subsequently, it highlights the different starting points in the process of aligning to the new corresponding provisions set by the Paris Agreement and relevant subsequent decisions. A short description of the different existing NDC types and the associated challenges are also discussed, in conjunction with the available types of indicators and the requirements that those will have to meet. Finally, a non-exclusive nor exhaustive list of indicators for both mitigation and adaptation is finally suggested (Chapter 3) based on the authors’ experience and expertise.
