Supporting GHG Mitigation Actions With Effective Data Management Systems
The Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR) is a global partnership, which provides funding and technical assistance to support the design and development of market-based instruments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The PMR is country-led and builds on countries’ own mitigation priorities. It emphasizes improving technical and institutional capacity to scale up mitigation efforts, including domestic emissions trading, crediting mechanisms and carbon taxes, among others.
Addressing essential "readiness" components applicable to all types of market-based instruments – such as monitoring reporting, and verification (MRV), data management, modeling, baseline, among other topics – is a crucial part of PMR’s work to provide technical assistance. This report focuses on GHG data management systems, which refers to the technologies and processes that facilitate data collection and organization for use to meet climate change-related policy objectives.
