• No guidance for diversified targets under the Convention
• BUT…some valuable experience in the biennial report guideline
• Challenge 2: Multiple targets in a Party’s NDC and diversified types of
targets by different Parties
• Explain each and every target in a detailed manner OR explain the main target?
• Specific and tailored arrangements for various types?
• Challenge 3: “Land” related issues
• Terms – AFLOU, LUCF, LULUCF, land, land sectors, forest, forestry or REDD+?
• Activity-based or land-based approaches?
• Domestic surveillance and statistics system?
• General arrangements or detailed rules?

Some Suggestions on Procedural and Substantial Issues
• Experience under the Convention and KP
• A paper by the Secretariat to list and introduce the existing relevant decisions
• Workshop(s) to exchange experience on applying the arrangements
• Multiple targets / diversified types of targets
• Choosing a main target to explain and track
• Choosing their own methodologies but ensure consistency
• e.g. For GDP: 2005/2010 comparable price? local currency or USD?
• e.g. For deviation from the BAU: assumptions related to setting the BAU
• “Land” issues
• Taking into account the existing arrangements
• Allowing Parties choosing their own approaches under some general guidance
• Identifying issues to be resolved by the future sessions of CMA

This document discusses accounting principles and guidance for tracking progress towards Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It outlines key principles such as promoting transparency, accuracy and avoiding double counting. It also examines how accounting guidance could clarify and implement these principles for different types of NDCs. Examples given include guidance to avoid double counting of emissions reductions from harvested wood products and clarifying how countries can account for natural disturbances. The document also discusses drawing from existing approaches under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol, and introducing an "accounting balance" to clearly track progress towards NDCs.

OECD Environment

The document discusses when accounting guidance could be useful in the NDC (Nationally Determined Contribution) cycle. It suggests accounting guidance may help when countries communicate their NDC, when they track progress during implementation in biennial reports, and after the target period to measure actual achievement against the target. It also presents a diagram showing how accounting guidance could be applied at different stages of the first NDC cycle, including communication of NDCs, implementation, reporting, and accounting for the first NDC. The document raises questions about when in the cycle accounting guidance should be applied and what implications delayed inventory reporting timeframes have for accounting.

This document discusses accounting considerations and guidance needs for different types of mitigation contributions under the Paris Agreement, including emissions intensity goals and goals relative to baseline emissions levels. Key issues addressed include requirements to quantify future emissions in the target year, developing reference levels for corresponding adjustments under cooperative mechanisms, data sources and guidance for intensity targets, defining consistency and review procedures for baseline scenarios, and inclusion of policies and cutoff years. Recommendations are made around enhancing transparency of assumptions in baseline scenarios and including all adopted policies with significant emissions impacts.

OECD Environment

This document discusses accounting issues related to countries' Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It notes that most current NDCs reference a "business as usual" scenario but does not define how this baseline is established. It also examines how countries may account for and report on their targets over time, considering things like base years, baseline emissions, reduction rates, and emission levels. It raises questions about how different target types like absolute, intensity and business as usual targets will be quantified and accounted for. It discusses the negotiations underway to develop guidance on accounting and suggests more clarity is needed on accounting for national targets and sectoral policies and measures.

OECD Environment

Breakout Group E discussed capacity needs for transparency in national communications and biennial update reports from non-Annex I parties. They noted that while 149 countries submitted their first national communication, just 126 submitted the second and only 39 have submitted the third. Fewer than 10 countries have submitted the fourth or fifth national communications. They also discussed actions to improve transparency, including strengthening national measurement, reporting and verification systems through proper political will and identifying domestic benefits. Other suggestions were increasing regional collaboration through South-South networks and better coordination among donors to avoid duplication.

The document discusses key takeaways from a climate change expert group meeting on reporting and review provisions under Articles 6 and 13 of the Paris Agreement, countries' net-zero emissions targets, the role of international carbon markets, and preparations for the Global Stocktake. Some of the main points discussed include needing further clarity in some Article 6 reporting provisions, opportunities to clarify details of reporting and review at COP26 and beyond, the importance of implementation plans and review processes for net-zero targets, and ensuring the Global Stocktake achieves its intended outcome of informing updated climate commitments and action.

Breakout Group A and D summary slides CCXG Global Forum September 2017

OECD Environment

The document summarizes discussions from breakout sessions at a Climate Change Expert Group meeting on accounting for nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Key points discussed include: 1) The purpose of mitigation accounting is to transparently explain and track progress towards greenhouse gas emission targets. Greenhouse gas inventories are the fundamental tool to do so consistently over time. 2) Issues to resolve include whether targets should be single- or multi-year, how to account for land use emissions, and how to handle NDCs with multiple targets. 3) Accounting guidance is needed before, during, and after NDC implementation to inform communication, track progress, and account for changes over time in things like business as usual projections

Development Co-operation Directorate (DCD-DAC)

Participants will be invited to reflect on the 2nd November WP-STAT meeting outcomes and implications for future reporting, including:  What supplementary guidance material and tools could be made available to support the application of the Rio markers?  Should an online user-friendly format for the guidance table be developed?  In the context of continual developments across the international community on climate finance definitions, is there need for further harmonisation?

CCXG Forum, June 2020, Key takeaways

OECD Environment

The document discusses key takeaways from a virtual forum on the environment and climate change hosted by the Climate Change Expert Group. It notes that common tabular formats can help track progress towards nationally determined contributions in a transparent way while balancing usability and machine readability. It also stresses the importance of ensuring economic stimulus packages in response to COVID-19 facilitate a clean energy transition and do not cause emissions or policies to backslide. Several countries are already integrating climate ambitions into their recovery plans.

Accounting for NDCs under the Paris Agreement, Qi Yue CCXG GF September 2016

OECD Environment

This document summarizes key points about accounting for nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It notes that accounting guidance is to be developed by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement by its first session to promote transparency and ensure avoidance of double counting. NDCs can include information on emission levels using IPCC guidelines, as well as other data on GDP, population and use of market-based credits. Preliminary thoughts are that accounting should be done after the target year but information reported with NDCs and progress, and that methodologies could have both common and nationally determined parts.

3.1 FOURTH JOINT ENVIRONET-WP-STAT JOINT TASK TEAM MEETING

Development Co-operation Directorate (DCD-DAC)

CCXG Global Forum October 2018 Breakout Group 3 by Sina Wartmann

OECD Environment

This document discusses flexibility in reporting progress towards baseline (BAU) mitigation targets under the Paris Agreement. It identifies key information needed for reporting and tracking progress, including specifying the NDC target, national GHG inventories, use of cooperative approaches, and implementation of mitigation actions and projections. Many developing countries still face capacity limitations in providing this information due to unclear targets, outdated inventories, difficulty quantifying actions and aligning with BAU scenarios. The document concludes flexibility is needed to help these countries improve reporting over time while building on discretion already provided in guidelines. It suggests flexibility options to facilitate improvement.

Accounting for emissions intensity target, Sin Liang Cheah CCXG GF September ...

OECD Environment

This document discusses accounting for emissions intensity targets. It defines emissions intensity as greenhouse gas emissions divided by gross domestic product. It recommends reporting both greenhouse gas emissions according to IPCC guidelines and GDP using UN guidelines. It suggests accounting for emissions intensity targets should follow guidelines of environmental integrity, transparency, accuracy, completeness, comparability, consistency, and avoiding double counting. The document notes linkages between accounting for emissions intensity targets and other articles of the Paris Agreement regarding greenhouse gas inventories, internationally transferred mitigation outcomes, accounting for nationally determined contributions, and transparency of climate actions.

CCXG, Forum, March 2020, Key Takeaways

OECD Environment

The document summarizes key discussions from a virtual climate change forum. It addresses transparency issues around common reporting formats to track climate progress and links between Article 6 negotiations and reporting. It also discusses country experiences with updating NDCs, emphasizing ownership and coordination. Finally, it notes the importance of long-term climate strategies to drive short-term targets, and challenges posed by COVID-19 to climate processes.

CCXG Forum, September 2021, Amit Garg

OECD Environment

This document discusses integrating the content and timing of reporting and review provisions under Articles 6 and 13 of the Paris Agreement. It notes that while reporting and review are closely linked, the sequencing is important - reporting guidelines should be decided before review guidelines. Integrating the two poses challenges around capacity, accounting methodologies, and countries' differing experiences. The document proposes forming an expert committee to further address these issues and provide comments on draft texts, with the goal of developing solutions that acknowledge countries' differing capacities while maintaining fairness.

CCXG Forum, September 2021, Alice Alpert

OECD Environment

The document discusses preparations for the upcoming Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement. So far, discussions among parties have focused mainly on logistics, but more thought needs to go into how to achieve the stated goal of informing parties on enhancing their climate actions and cooperation. Specifically, opportunities and examples of good practices should be highlighted to provide clear positive messages from parties' experiences. Additional considerations include managing the large volume of inputs, repeating themes in technical dialogues, and ensuring information moves beyond interactive sessions to inform parties.

Adaptation communications in the Paris Agreement and information in INDCs, by...

OECD Environment

Takayoshi Kato from the OECD presented on communicating progress on adaptation to climate change under the Paris Agreement. The key points were: 1) The Paris Agreement requires countries to submit and periodically update adaptation communications that may include priorities, implementation plans, actions, and support needs to inform the global stocktake. 2) Existing sources of information like National Communications, National Adaptation Plans, and INDCs could be leveraged to provide information and minimize reporting burdens. 3) A review of 120 adaptation INDCs found they varied greatly in scope, aims, clarity, timelines, and linkages to other policies, with most covering agriculture and water but few including quantitative indicators.

CCXG Global Forum October 2018 Breakout Group 2 by Sina Wartmann

OECD Environment

The document discusses flexibility options for developing countries in reporting progress toward non-greenhouse gas emission reduction targets under the Paris Agreement, noting that while reporting is improving, capacity limitations still exist for many countries in providing all relevant information like national greenhouse gas inventories, mitigation actions, and projections; it analyzes experience and limitations and provides suggestions for flexibility that builds on existing guidance to facilitate improved reporting over time.

3.2- FOURTH ENVIRONET-WP-STAT JOINT TASK TEAM MEETING

Development Co-operation Directorate (DCD-DAC)

This document discusses a guidance table created by KfW Development Bank to help assign climate change Rio Markers to development projects. The guidance table provides examples of project types in various sectors and recommends Rio Marker scores for climate change mitigation and adaptation. It aims to standardize the assignment of Rio Markers and complement existing guidelines. The table is intended as an orientation tool for project developers, and is not officially binding. It is used by KfW and BMZ to advise on and quality check Rio Marker assignments. Benefits include improved consistency in scoring, less need for advice, faster quality control, and increased understanding of how projects can qualify for climate change financing.

NAP Global Network

The presentation discusses tools to identify synergies between national adaptation plans (NAPs) and nationally determined contributions (NDCs). It introduces the NAP-NDC Linkages study, the Tool for Assessing Adaptation in the NDCs (TAAN), and the NDC Adaptation Toolbox. The study found that over 130 countries included adaptation in their NDCs. The TAAN allows understanding and comparing adaptation contents and measures in NDCs. The Toolbox is organized along the policy cycle to support NDC implementation through existing NAP guidance and case studies. Aligning NAP and NDC processes can help achieve adaptation goals, avoid duplication, and access finance sources identified in NAPs.

CCXG Global Forum March 2018, Specificity and Applicability: Accounting for “...

OECD Environment

This document discusses accounting for baselines in the Paris Agreement and outlines four tiers of possible elements for an outcome on accounting at COP-24. It explains that baselines refer to business-as-usual scenarios for measuring deviation from expected emissions, while reference levels refer to actual emissions in a base year. The document recommends pragmatic solutions in 2018, including general principles, guidance on metrics and methodologies, and establishing a work program to elaborate on issues like accounting for baselines and forests after 2018 through learning by doing in future NDC rounds.

The document discusses key questions and open issues regarding preparations for the first global stocktake (GST) under the Paris Agreement. It outlines four key questions: 1) What is the purpose and utility of the GST? 2) How will GST outputs be translated into the outcome specified in the Paris Agreement? 3) How can ownership of GST recommendations be ensured? 4) How will equity be addressed? It notes that the answers to these questions will impact the design of the GST process and guiding questions. The document also lists open questions and issues regarding the focus of the GST, inputs to be addressed, timelines, and technical support for parties' meaningful participation.

OECD Project on Decentralised Development Cooperation

OECDregions

This document outlines the objectives, methodology, timeline, and expected outcomes of a joint OECD CFE-DCD project on decentralized development cooperation (DDC). The project aims to provide an updated statistical analysis of trends in DDC, analyze frameworks and actors involved, identify priorities and best practices, and make recommendations. Data will be collected through surveys of DAC members, local and regional governments, case studies, and workshops. Key outputs will include an OECD publication, online database, and profiles of donor DDC. The one-year participatory process involves stakeholders from central governments, local/regional governments, and international organizations.

Development Plans: The Future

The Planning Inspectorate

ODS - 2013

Cancilleria-Col

The document proposes an "Integrating Approach" for structuring discussions on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It suggests focusing initially on targets rather than goals to better capture interlinkages between issues and sectors. By engaging stakeholders from the start on specific targets, it allows identification of synergies and trade-offs. This approach produces more coherent, streamlined discussions compared to traditional "silos" and could potentially reduce the number of targets. It also facilitates implementation by building stronger political support around agreed upon multi-dimensional targets. Moving forward, efforts should be made to identify inter-sectoral linkages and prioritize targets through a bottom-up process to better inform decision making.

Derek stebbing local plans expert group

The Planning Inspectorate

The Local Plans Expert Group (LPEG) is reviewing ways to speed up and simplify the local plan process in England. Some of the key issues they identified include a lack of clarity around calculating housing need, lengthy and complex local plans and evidence bases, difficulties cooperating across boundaries, and challenges ensuring timely plan preparation and housing delivery. The LPEG is considering recommendations to address these issues through measures such as clearer guidance on assessing housing need, streamlining plan content, improving joint working on strategic issues, and enhancing plan implementation.

HDTAP 2020 21 workshop

PAS_Team

The document discusses housing delivery test (HDT) action plans that local authorities in England are required to produce if they have not met certain HDT thresholds in delivering new homes. It provides context on the HDT and 2020 results, which showed that 55 authorities delivered below 75% of their housing requirement, triggering additional obligations. The document outlines the process for developing an HDT action plan, including conducting a root cause analysis, identifying actions, and monitoring implementation. It emphasizes that good action plans clearly explain under-delivery, include immediate and long-term actions, and are written as tools to facilitate delivery rather than undermine existing strategies.

CCXG global forum, April 2024, MJ Mace

OECD Environment

This document discusses potential guidance on features of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It notes that existing NDCs vary in clarity and completeness. Additional guidance could help NDCs better aggregate to meet global temperature goals and improve understanding of country commitments. The document explores guidance options to clarify the role of land use in mitigation, scope of Article 6 cooperation, responsiveness to the Global Stocktake, and definitions of terms like "economy-wide" and "progression". The aim is to strengthen NDCs and support the Paris Agreement goals through common understanding and transparency of country commitments.

Councillor briefing nppf hiowlga as delivered

PAS_Team

This presentation summarizes implications of revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) for local government leaders and chief executives. Key changes include a strengthened emphasis on strategic planning through statements of common ground between authorities, a requirement to review local plans every five years, and a new housing delivery test that could trigger a presumption in favor of sustainable development if housing delivery falls below 75% of targets. The presentation recommends that authorities focus local plans on core strategic policies, work collaboratively across boundaries, establish groups to boost housing delivery, and prepare communications around potential implications of the housing delivery test and presumption.

7.1 FOURTH ENVIRONET-WP-STAT JOINT TASK TEAM MEETING

Development Co-operation Directorate (DCD-DAC)

1) There is a need for greater quantification in reporting on finance for the Rio Conventions due to new quantified goals under the UNFCCC, CBD, and other agreements. 2) Two main approaches for greater quantification are identifying financial components within activities or using "coefficient" estimates to scale Rio marker data, but both raise feasibility issues. 3) Most members currently use Rio markers and coefficients to report financing, though approaches vary, and harmonization could improve comparability.

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.

Is LCA ready to answer the growing request of sustainability metrics?

PaoloMasoni2

The keynote discusses the growing demand for reliable sustainability metrics in various policy areas like the European Green Deal and Sustainable Finance. It summarizes developments in LCA methodology and standards but notes the urgency of requests may not be fully aligned with current progress. While LCA is scientifically sound, it is sometimes seen as too complex; widespread use will require simplification as well as data and capacity building. The ORIENTING project aims to advance sustainability footprinting methods in response to these needs.

CCXG global forum, April 2024, Sirini Jeudy-Hugo

OECD Environment

The document discusses key considerations for countries in preparing their next Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) following the outcome of the first global stocktake (GST). NDCs are meant to represent increased ambition over time and be informed by the GST. The GST signals the need for more ambitious economy-wide emission reduction targets across all greenhouse gases and sectors. Translating the GST signals into enhanced NDCs requires aligning NDCs with long-term strategies and developing implementation plans and investment plans. Follow-up will be important to implement course corrections from the GST and keep the goals of the Paris Agreement achievable.

NAP Training Viet Nam - Stock Taking for National Adaptation Planning

UNDP Climate

This two-day workshop supported the Government of Viet Nam in building the necessary capacity to advance its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process. The workshop closely focused on building National Adaptation Plans in the agricultural sector through multi-stakeholder collaboration, and increased knowledge and capacity on a number of topics including: prioritization of adaptation options, cost-benefit analysis, overview of the broad-based nature of climate change adaption impacts, analysis of challenges, and creation of an open discussion with key stakeholders on defining a road-map for the NAP process. The workshop was delivered using discussions and case studies to enhance interactive learning for participants, with supporting presentations by GiZ and SNV.

CCXG Forum, March 2022, Sirini Jeudy-Hugo

OECD Environment

The document discusses translating the outputs of the global stocktake (GST) process under the Paris Agreement into tangible outcomes. It notes the GST aims to inform updates to national climate actions and enhance cooperation. The outputs include technical reports and political declarations, while outcomes include guiding climate plans and identifying knowledge gaps. It suggests formulating outputs like technical annexes and follow-up recommendations to help reach outcomes like stronger climate policies and engagement. Designing the process, stakeholder participation, and follow-through over time can influence whether the GST achieves accelerating climate progress.

OECD Environment

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change. How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security? This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system. OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.
