The comprehensive programme looks to facilitate effective and universal participation of countries in the measurement, reporting and verification arrangements under the UNFCCC and the transparency framework under the Paris Agreement. The goal of the conference is to enhance the technical capacity of individuals and to improve the overall competency in reporting and in contributing to climate action.

Key Programme Contents:

  1. Reporting & Review under the UNFCC and Paris Agreement
  2. GHG Inventory Compilation (GHG inventories are a key source of information necessary to understand where each country, and the global community at large, stand in terms of GHG emissions)
  3. GHG Projections
  4. Sectoral GHG Methodology
  5. Hands-on Exercise

Last year, 30 students were selected from a pool of 210 applicants from 72 countries. This programme was a four-week intensive training course and structured to address the current gaps, which would allow the trainees to undertake national GHG inventories upon their return. Trainees themselves came willing to participate and engage with the group and expressed an eagerness to bring the knowledge learned back to their teams at home. They are now contributing lessons learned from the training programme to enhance their national capability responding to climate change.

This year, the training will begin on 22 July and run for four weeks in the Republic of Korea.
