This document summarizes a discussion on options for land use accounting frameworks in a post-2020 climate agreement. It identifies four potential accounting framework options: 1) a single set of rules for all parties; 2) parties choose from differentiated modalities with common elements; 3) parties apply existing approaches like LULUCF, REDD+, or CDM; or 4) no overarching framework with parties using self-defined approaches. The document also lists principles discussed for the framework, such as transparency, flexibility, and incentivizing reductions. Speakers at the event represented organizations like IUCN, UCS, FAO, WWF, and the EU.

Potential accounting frameworks
1. All participating Parties operating under a single, common
set of accounting rules.
2. Parties choose from one of a few differentiated modalities,
all of which have common elements
3. Parties choose one of the existing modalities (LULUCF,
REDD+, CDM)

The UN-REDD Programme supports countries in developing national REDD+ strategies and implementing readiness activities. It has established social and environmental principles and criteria to ensure REDD+ benefits and safeguards risks. It is also developing participatory governance assessment approaches and guidelines on stakeholder engagement and free, prior, and informed consent. The tools are being piloted and implemented in partner countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Ecuador to help operationalize safeguards at the national level.

Developing robust INDCs: Experiences from developing countries and emerging l...

NewClimate Institute

The document discusses various ways to assess the ambition level of countries' mitigation contributions or INDCs. It presents five approaches: comparison to business-as-usual emissions; comparison to effort sharing considerations; comparison to mitigation potential; comparison of decarbonization indicators; and comparison to good practice policy packages. The document provides examples of countries that have used some of these approaches and notes the varying levels of complexity involved. It concludes that all five options can provide useful information, though the appropriate approach depends on the type of target, and simpler analyses can be adjusted based on a country's capacity.

Selective Lapsation

Emile Elefteriadis, B.Sc, FSA, FCIA

This educational note supplement reviews methods for estimating deteriorated mortality at renewal of renewable term life insurance policies due to selective lapsation. It summarizes studies showing mortality deterioration increases with premium jump size. The supplement analyzes limited Canadian experience and explores the Dukes-MacDonald, Becker-Kitsos, and CIA VTP2 methods. While no strong conclusions can be drawn, a minor revision to the CIA VTP2 method better matches Canadian experience observed.

This document discusses various approaches to limiting interest deductibility in order to curb base erosion and profit shifting. It examines the difficulties with compulsory rules given differences in tax systems internationally. It outlines multiple approaches considered, including setting an interest rate, withholding taxes, reclassifying debt as equity, and thin capitalization rules. It emphasizes the need for coordination across countries to avoid distortions. Unilateral measures can conflict with goals of an effective international solution. Any interest limitation also risks conflicts with fundamental taxation principles if not carefully implemented.

OECD Workshop on Metrics for Climate Transition PPT Nicole Pinko

OECD Environment

This document summarizes a workshop discussion on the credibility and impact of voluntary climate alliances. It finds that while 32% of global financial assets are committed to net zero, the specific coverage of interim targets is unknown. There are also gaps in the geographic distribution of members and lack of implementation details in public sector commitments. Overall, membership in an alliance does not guarantee effective climate action as requirements and enforcement differ. Interim targets also need standardization and broader coverage of assets. More data sharing and capacity support is needed to properly measure the credibility of voluntary commitments over time.

3-OECD-Green-Budgeting-Survey-2021.pdf

OECD Governance

The OECD developed a composite indicator to identify green budgeting practices across 14 OECD countries. The indicator assessed countries based on 4 building blocks: strategic framework, tools and methods, accountability and transparency, and enabling environment. Most countries have some practices in place, like strategic plans, environmental impact assessments, and training programs. The OECD will refine the indicator based on country feedback and update it annually to track the evolution of green budgeting over time. The indicator aims to help countries learn from each other's approaches and advance green budgeting.

REDDeX Synthesis Takeaways

Nikki Virgilio

The document contains quotes from participants in a REDDex conference discussing their key takeaways. Many participants emphasized the importance of stakeholder involvement, noting that REDD+ requires local ownership and benefits must be shared with communities. Other takeaways included that REDD+ is complex and involves coordination across sectors and levels of government, long-term funding is needed to support strategies, and baselines and accounting methods require careful consideration.

This document provides an analysis of pavement design options for an expressway in hilly terrain where the road grade is greater than 4% using multi-criteria analysis. It discusses flexible asphalt pavement and rigid concrete pavement alternatives based on criteria of cost, time, performance, and maintenance. An analytical hierarchy process is used to assign weights and scores to criteria and alternatives. Based on the analysis, rigid concrete pavement has better performance in hilly areas and lower long-term maintenance costs, making it the preferred option where road grade is over 4%.

Un redd-social and environmental principles

theREDDdesk

This document outlines the purpose and development process of the UN-REDD Social & Environmental Principles and Criteria (P&C). The P&C are intended to: 1) Provide a framework for the UN-REDD Programme to ensure social and environmental benefits and risks are addressed in REDD+ activities. 2) Support countries in implementing UNFCCC safeguards for REDD+. The P&C went through several revisions based on feedback and will be further reviewed before Version 2 is presented in October 2011. The overall goal is for the P&C to guide the design and implementation of socially and environmentally sound national REDD+ programs.

REDD_5.2_Monitor_Measure.Key Performance

Mahmoud998660

This document discusses monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of REDD+ programs. It outlines key components of an M&E framework, including a narrative section, results framework, and planning matrix. The narrative describes how partners will conduct M&E and assign responsibilities. The results framework uses a logic model with inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and impact. Indicators are developed for each level. Baselines and targets are set to measure progress. Data collection methods are also identified. Developing SMART objectives and indicators leads to better implementation performance. A well-implemented M&E ensures goals are met for multiple stakeholders.

Strengthening the global partnership monitoring framework

Dr Lendy Spires

This document provides an update on strengthening the Global Partnership's monitoring framework. It discusses three areas of work: 1) Preparing for a stronger second monitoring round in 2015-2016 by incorporating lessons from the first round. 2) Further refining the methodologies for the four global pilot indicators. 3) Reviewing the monitoring framework to ensure its relevance for post-2015 accountability efforts. The goal is to have a credible framework that encourages all stakeholders to improve development cooperation effectiveness.

OECD Environment

This document summarizes a presentation given at a climate change expert group meeting in March 2016. It discusses challenges related to accounting for climate mitigation efforts under the Paris Agreement, including avoiding double counting emissions reductions between countries. Two key challenges are the greater variety of emission reduction unit flows between countries and different types of nationally determined contribution targets. The document outlines potential solutions discussed, including developing strong governance and tracking systems to ensure environmental integrity and prevent double counting. It also notes relevant articles and decisions from the Paris Agreement calling for guidance to be developed on accounting, transparency and tracking international transfer of mitigation outcomes.
