This document summarizes the Nation of Mordor's NDC tracking progress. Mordor's target is an absolute 50% reduction in emissions below 1990 levels by 2030. The key indicator is annual GHG emissions in CO2e. Emissions are projected to decline from 100 Mt CO2e in 2021 to 45 Mt CO2e in 2030, achieving the 50% reduction target. Methodologies follow IPCC guidelines and maintain consistency with definitions, data sources, and approaches between the baseline and target years.
This document discusses developing common tabular formats (CTFs) to summarize progress made by countries toward their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). CTFs could serve several purposes: helping others understand progress, demonstrating progress, facilitating reviews, and promoting transparency. The document outlines examples of three CTFs that make up a structured summary: CTF I provides information on indicators and targets, CTF II provides information on implementation and achievement progress, and CTF III provides information on cooperative approaches. While CTFs can help track different types of NDCs and meet review purposes, reporting too much narrative information reduces transparency and comparability. Separating indicator reporting from cooperative approach reporting increases transparency. Overall, CTFs can help
This document discusses potential formats for communicating transparency information, known as common tabular formats (CTFs), to track progress towards nationally determined contributions (NDCs). It proposes that CTFs include structured summaries with quantified data for indicators, greenhouse gas emissions and removals, land use and forestry contributions, and the use of mitigation outcomes. Supporting tables could provide additional details. While CTFs must accommodate diverse NDCs, most NDCs have quantifiable indicators, so consistent tabular formats can be established. Transparency, consistency, and completeness are important, while comparability only applies to comparable NDCs.
This document discusses considerations for tracking progress towards Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) using Common Tabular Formats (CTFs). It outlines the key categories of information required, including indicators, accounting approaches, methodologies and assumptions, and structured summaries. CTFs could be useful for preparing and reviewing Biennial Transparency Reports in a standardized, quick-reference format, though they may not capture all contextual information. The document proposes using a mix of CTFs, additional tables and narratives to fully report the required information. It provides examples of four CTF tables that could be used to systematically report information on indicators, methodologies, progress tracking, and mitigation co-benefits from adaptation actions.
This document proposes a structured summary template for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to help facilitate transparency and comparability. The template includes sections for unconditional and conditional targets, indicators and reference points, achievement of targets, Land Use Land-Use Change and Forestry contribution, emissions balance, and approach to accounting for Article 6. Challenges addressed are how to accommodate both single-year and multi-year targets, ensure the summary is readable on its own but also machine readable, and allow for different types of indicators used across NDCs.
This document discusses reporting progress made in implementing nationally determined contributions (NDCs) using common tabular formats (CTFs). It provides an example of a structured summary using a CTF to report on an NDC goal of improving energy efficiency in manufacturing. The structured summary includes indicators to track progress, greenhouse gas emissions covered by the NDC, and comparisons between reporting years. However, the document notes that a structured summary alone may not provide full context on an NDC's implementation. Additional information on policies, measures, projections, methodologies and challenges would help understand progress at a sectoral level and whether progress is reflected in emissions reductions. Technical issues are also discussed around how to consistently report different types of NDCs and emissions methodologies
This document discusses seasonal adjustment of national index data at the international level. It provides an overview of seasonal adjustment concepts and methods, including why it is done, basic concepts, costs and risks, software options like TRAMO/SEATS and X-12-ARIMA, and UNIDO's experience adjusting 334 time series for quarterly industrial production index reports. It concludes with suggestions for countries performing seasonal adjustment, including revision policies, publication practices, and encouraging provision of national calendars to aid the process.
This document discusses methods for benchmarking quarterly and monthly index of industrial production data to annual values. It describes two main approaches: numerical methods like Pro Rata distribution and Proportional Denton method, and statistical modeling. Pro Rata distribution splits the annual total proportionally across quarters/months, but can create step problems. The Proportional Denton method minimizes differences between indicators and benchmarks subject to annual constraints, avoiding step problems but requiring specialized software. The document recommends using Proportional Denton for benchmarking and continuing to improve estimation techniques.

CCXG Global Forum October 2018 Breakout Group A by Dina SpoerriOECD Environment
This document discusses linkages and challenges related to tracking progress towards nationally determined contributions (NDCs). It notes that while some reporting items relate, they have distinct mandates that must all be fulfilled. It provides examples of linkages and differences between reporting on NDC preparation, implementation, achievement, and accounting. The core information includes describing the NDC and progress made, but requirements apply to all parties and NDCs. Differences depend on how individual NDCs are formulated, so parties define relevant indicators and information for tracking their specific progress.
CCXG Workshop, February 2021, Ole-Kenneth NielsenOECD Environment
This document discusses opportunities and challenges for developing common reporting tables (CRTs) to support climate change reporting. It notes that CRTs can promote transparency, comparability, easy compilation and review of inventory data. However, different countries have different starting points, so CRTs must balance detail and complexity. Data confidentiality is also a challenge. CRT software should be flexible to link to national inventory systems, support quality control, and perform efficiently to avoid delays. The document recommends that CRTs and software promote transparency and review, provide necessary detail, and facilitate easy reporting.
This document discusses how review under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement can be coordinated with review under Article 13 to avoid duplication of efforts. It analyzes what information reported under Article 6 would and would not be covered by Article 13 review. It identifies tasks like reviewing consistency of transactions between parties and accuracy of corresponding adjustments that could be taken on by Article 6 review. The document also suggests some clarifications to the draft Article 6 decision text regarding definitions of reporting timeframes, quantitative transaction data, and the scope of the Article 6 review process.
This document discusses key steps in preparing and reporting national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. It outlines the two-phase inventory process: 1) preparing the inventory by collecting activity data and estimating emissions using tools, and 2) reporting the inventory using specific formats. For Annex I parties, common reporting formats (CRFs) generated by the CRF Reporter are used. The Enhanced Transparency Framework will introduce common reporting tables (CRTs) modeled on CRFs but requiring more detailed data from developing countries. While CRFs provide a technical starting point, transitioning to CRTs may pose new challenges for developing countries requiring institutional and IT resources.
The document summarizes key discussions from a workshop on greenhouse gas inventory reporting. It discusses the potential for using the Common Reporting Format (CRF) tables and CRF Reporter software as a starting point for developing Common Reporting Tables (CRTs) and a CRT Reporter. While the CRF system provides a good technical foundation, it is uneven due to some countries' unfamiliarity with it. The document outlines challenges countries face in inventory reporting and stresses the importance of capacity building support. It also emphasizes ensuring the CRT Reporter is adaptable and can interface with other inventory software to facilitate reporting.
This document discusses opportunities for developing common reporting tables (CRTs) to enhance greenhouse gas inventory reporting transparency and reduce reporting burden under the UNFCCC. Developing CRTs could help keep reporting burden low, increase transparency, facilitate data use beyond emissions reporting, and support the global stocktaking process. Automating functions in a CRT reporter software could further reduce the reporting effort. However, time is limited to develop the CRT reporter before countries must begin using the new reporting format.
This document outlines Japan's process for compiling and reporting its national greenhouse gas inventory. It describes the organizational structure and roles of different ministries and agencies in data collection and inventory preparation. It then details Japan's methodology, which involves using Microsoft Excel files organized into different levels to calculate emissions and summarize data for reporting in the Common Reporting Format tables and national inventory report. The Excel files contain the full time series of data and link between levels to automatically carry calculations through. Finally, it discusses challenges such as handling confidential data and solutions such as using notation keys to still report emissions while masking confidential information.
This document discusses challenges and solutions in using the Common Reporting Format (CRF) and CRF Reporter for South Korea's national greenhouse gas inventory reporting. It outlines Korea's use of the CRF for in-country data gathering and describes issues like a lack of flexibility and the inability to break down emissions for some categories. It then introduces a new proposed reporting format, the GIRF, that could provide more transparency and reduce errors by separating emissions, activity data, and emission factors into different tables. Finally, it discusses Korea's plans to improve its national inventory through developing country-specific emission factors and transitioning to the 2006 IPCC guidelines.
1) North Macedonia has been using the IPCC 2006 inventory software to calculate and report its national GHG emissions since 2013 but finds transferring the data to the CRF format very challenging.
2) Previous attempts to use the CRF reporter software found it unfriendly and difficult to use.
3) The extensive and segregated nature of the data in the CRF tables makes the review process difficult without the UNFCCC review tools, and sometimes those tools are unavailable.
“SIGN SMART” is web basis software for supporting national and sub-national GHG inventory activity
SIGN: Sistem Informasi GRK Nasional (National GHG Information System)
SMART: Simple, Measurable, Accurate, Reliable, Transparent
SIGN SMART was developed by SIGN center of the MoEF in 2014
South Africa's greenhouse gas inventory system includes institutional arrangements for compiling sector-based emissions data, a national greenhouse gas information system (NGHGIS) for archiving and managing inventory documentation, and the South African Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting System (SAGERS) which collects industry emissions data using the 2006 IPCC methodology. The system also includes a greenhouse gas reporting program, improvement programs to study emission sectors, and a quality assurance process involving public review and independent assessment.
Brazil has submitted several national communications and biennial update reports to the UNFCCC covering greenhouse gas inventory data from 1990 to 2016. Brazil's institutional arrangement and process for developing national communications involves multiple ministries. While Brazil has endeavored to report according to the IPCC guidelines and CRF tables, the country has not extensively used the CRF reporting system. The main challenges for Brazil in using the CRF system would be the need for an intermediate adaptation phase as the country's database would need adjustments. Technical training and time would be needed to adapt to using the CRF reporting tool.
This document discusses reporting requirements and transitions under the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement transparency framework. It outlines key reporting elements such as national greenhouse gas inventories, mitigation actions, and support received. It also describes the timeline for initial and final biennial transparency reports by 2024. The document discusses capacity building needs for developing countries to transition to the enhanced transparency framework, including training in inventory methodologies, reporting software, and national systems.
206410 sales forecasting at arrow electronicsp6academy
The document summarizes Arrow Electronics' use of multiple linear regression to forecast sales. It discusses their initial time series analysis model and improvements made by incorporating seasonality adjustments and additional independent variables from internal Arrow data like inventory and billings as well as external economic factors. Their current model uses PMI, unemployment, billings per ship day, and backlog to forecast sales per ship day with 94.66% accuracy when evaluating past forecasts. The model generates monthly sales forecasts based on forecasted sales per ship day, estimated ship days, and seasonal adjustments.
The IPCC Inventory Software is free software produced by the IPCC Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories to help countries compile their greenhouse gas inventories according to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines. It allows entry of country-specific data and methods at higher tiers. Updates will integrate all tiers and methods from the 2006 Guidelines. Support includes a user manual, help desk, testers group, and annual user meetings. Future additions may include more sectors, disaggregation, multiple users, time series export, and translations.
This document discusses lessons learned from current electronic reporting experiences under the UNFCCC that can inform improved reporting under the Paris Agreement. It notes that reporting accurate, accessible data is important to inform policymaking and the Global Stocktake. Currently, parties report data electronically using different formats like Excel and XML, each with benefits and drawbacks. Reporting through a tool like the CRF Reporter standardizes data and facilitates analysis but requires resources. To enhance reporting under the Paris Agreement, parties could consider approaches to promote data harmonization like using standardized labels and codes. An enhanced reporting system using a centralized portal could significantly improve data quality, reduce reporting burden, and allow linking of information reported under different articles while also posing technical challenges.
Electronic reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and other climate data to the UNFCCC could provide benefits but also poses challenges. While electronic reporting may streamline the process and save time and resources, countries have varying levels of experience with such systems. When designing electronic reporting software, flexibility must be provided to accommodate different country capacities and non-standard data. A smooth transition is also needed for countries already using their own systems. The scope and timing of implementation would need careful consideration. Lessons can be learned from systems already in use, but differences between developed and developing countries must be taken into account.

Further information is available at http://www.oecd.org/gov/regulatory-policy/measuring-regulatory-performance.htm
This document discusses potential common tabular formats (CTFs) for reporting on the use of cooperative approaches to meet nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement. It presents four example CTFs that vary in the level of detail requested about emissions balances and transfers of mitigation outcomes. The examples were assessed based on transparency, completeness, and other criteria. While more detailed CTFs provide greater transparency, less complex options with mostly quantitative information may be preferable for comparability. Overall CTFs need to allow for reporting emission levels and adjustments from cooperative approaches over time.

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 summarizes guidance on reporting and accounting for cooperative approaches involving the use of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Some key points include:
- Parties must report annually on authorization and first transfer of ITMOs, quantity used towards NDCs, and corresponding adjustments made. Regular reporting is also required on contributions to adaptation funds and delivery of overall mitigation.
- A centralized accounting and reporting platform will be established to record ITMO transactions and review reporting consistency. Parties must establish domestic registries to account for ITMO transfers.
- Guidance details the types of information to be reported, such as cooperative approach descriptions, metrics used to quantify ITMOs and

The OECD provided an update on its ongoing work to assess the economic impact of the Two-Pillar Solution to Address the Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy, including new estimates of the revenue impacts of implementing Pillar One and Pillar Two. These estimates are based on updated data and incorporate many recently agreed design features of Pillar One and Pillar Two, many of which have not been accounted for in other studies.
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.
CCCXG Global Forum March 2017 BG2 Potential Role of the Facilitative Dialogue...OECD Environment
This document discusses how a facilitative dialogue could help parties progress toward the goals of the Paris Agreement. It suggests the dialogue assess: (1) current emissions and progress, (2) the scale of emissions reductions needed to limit warming to 1.5C and associated timelines, and (3) effective policies and technologies. Inputs from the UNFCCC, IPCC, and other scientific bodies could help with these assessments. The dialogue could identify information gaps in NDCs and recommend additional data. It could produce summary reports highlighting progress, emissions gaps, and priority actions. Parties could then adopt a decision identifying milestones to achieve 1.5C warming. The dialogue would involve both technical and political elements across SB, intersession

It outlines the key components of tracking progress under an NDC, including describing the NDC, summarizing progress made toward the target, and explaining the accounting approaches and methodologies used. It notes that tracking involves setting reference values for indicators used to measure progress, reporting interim progress during the implementation period using recent indicator values, and reporting the final outcome values after the period.

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.
This document discusses enhancing consistency between the review processes under Article 6 and Article 13 of the Paris Agreement. It suggests that the Article 6 review should:
1) Produce stand-alone, detailed reviews of Party information by Article 6 experts to facilitate consistent input into biennial transparency reports.
2) Clearly indicate whether Party responsibilities and requirements are met to use outcomes toward NDCs.
3) Clearly indicate additions and subtractions to Party quantitative information for incorporation into structured summaries.
It also recommends the timing of Article 6 reviews be annual to promote transparency and consistency across Parties, with initial reports reviewed within 12 months to inform the Article 13 review. Revisions to draft texts are needed to strengthen areas like corresponding adjustments,
The document discusses reporting provisions under Articles 13 and 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. It finds that the draft Article 6.2 reporting text generally works well, with sufficient alignment to information required in the biennial transparency report and structured summary. It suggests a few potential tweaks that could be made in Glasgow, such as adding lines to the initial report section about environmental integrity, sustainable development, and human rights. However, most further work on reporting guidance is recommended for the post-Glasgow work program.
- A common structured summary or a common set of structured summaries could be used to report progress towards Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
- A common structured summary provides advantages like fulfilling reporting goals clearly, prompting all Parties consistently, and increasing reporting consistency over time for each Party. However, it risks becoming unwieldy with too much narrative information.
- A common set of structured summaries could accommodate different Party NDCs but may prompt information inconsistently between Parties and over time, hindering comparability, transparency and the technical review process.

CCCXG Global Forum March 2017 BGC What information would be needed and how could it contribute to the enhancement of Parties' actions and support on adaptation? by Irene Suarez
The document discusses reporting requirements and information flows between Article 13 and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement on climate change. It provides an overview of the key reporting elements under each article related to nationally determined contributions (NDCs), greenhouse gas inventories, land use and forestry, and internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs). The document also maps areas where reporting information is the same or complementary between Article 13 (which covers transparency of action) and Article 6 (which governs cooperative approaches including carbon markets). It aims to help determine how to develop structured summaries and reporting guidance to ensure consistency across articles.
The OECD tax talks discussed:
1. Latest developments on the international tax agenda including the Inclusive Framework and multilateral instrument.
2. Peer reviews of the four BEPS minimum standards.
3. Updates on country-by-country reporting and guidance.
4. Ongoing standard setting work on the profit split method, attribution of profits to permanent establishments, and branch mismatches.
5. Progress on tax transparency including the effects of the fast-track review and upcoming deadlines for automatic exchange of information.
With a number of recent and upcoming developments in the OECD's international tax work, we invite you to join a live webcast with experts from the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration for an update on the work relating to the tax challenges arising from the digitalisation of the economy.

CCXG Global Forum March 2018, Accounting for baseline targets by Anke HeroldOECD Environment
This document discusses the need for guidance on accounting for baseline targets under the UNFCCC. It outlines experiences using counterfactual scenarios to assess mitigation actions. While projections are not used for target accounting, experiences with transparent reporting and methodologies are relevant. The document analyzes Nationally Determined Contributions and finds varying levels of transparency in describing baseline scenarios. It argues guidance is needed on baseline transparency, technical review processes, ensuring methodological consistency, and updating assumptions over time. The conclusions call for procedural guidance to improve baseline descriptions and review without prescribing methodologies.

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.
