OECD: Joint WPURB-WPTI workshop - May 14, 2019
The project established a comprehensive carbon emission baseline for du from 2012, allowing them to monitor and improve emissions yearly. It provided essential elements to increase du's sustainability competitiveness through stronger sustainability reports and capabilities. The carbon baseline was developed using GHG Protocol and ISO standards, along with sector-specific telecommunications guidelines. A tailored carbon calculator was created for du to update emissions yearly. A green balanced scorecard was also designed to integrate carbon accounting and green performance indicators into du's business culture.
HLC will contribute to the Global Stocktake in three main ways:
1) By providing progress reports from global campaigns like Race to Zero and sectoral approaches in 28 sectors.
2) By enhancing international cooperation through ministerial dialogues, implementation labs at regional climate weeks, and future labs.
3) By building momentum for a successful 1 degree Celsius Global Stocktake through advocacy from non-party stakeholders, enhancing tracking and reporting, strengthening regional climate weeks, following up on commitments, and engaging key sectors.

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.
CCXG Global Forum March 2018, Updates for BAU targets by Chao FengOECD Environment
The document discusses guidance on updating business-as-usual (BAU) emissions targets. It notes that while updating BAU targets could provide a more accurate baseline, it may also incentivize over-estimating initial targets or bias in subsequent updates. The document considers whether and how updates could be done while maintaining methodological consistency between BAU projections and actual emissions accounting. Key issues addressed are when and how BAU targets may be appropriately updated.

Guidance for accounting: emissions intensity goals and goals relative to BAU ...OECD Environment
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.
CCXG Global Forum September 2017, BGD Accounting within the NDC cycle by Jae ...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.
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.
The presentation Global Policy Frameworks And Their Implications For Metrics is by Lini Wollenberg, flagship leader of CCAFS Low Emissions Development.
Presented at the WBCSD Climate Smart Agriculture workshop at the University of Vermont, Burlington, VT on 28 March 2018.
The document discusses the importance of the implementation phase of a National Urban Policy (NUP). It states that a clear implementation plan is required to translate policy directions into tangible changes. The implementation plan should be produced alongside or after the NUP drafting. It should set out agreed upon actions and timeframes, coordination frameworks, monitoring agencies, funding mechanisms, ongoing monitoring programs, and efforts to build knowledge capacity. The implementation phase depends on previous phases, specifically the formulation phase, and determines how to execute the policy plan through an administrative structure. It identifies implementation gaps and produces a plan outlining tasks, responsibilities, and timelines to allocate resources and translate policy intent into legislation.
CIFOR's Global Comparative Study on REDD - Objects, Structure, ResultsCIFOR-ICRAF
The document summarizes CIFOR's Global Comparative Study on REDD+ (GCS-REDD+). The study aims to support REDD+ policy and practice with science-based information, analysis, and tools to help ensure REDD+ outcomes are effective, efficient, and equitable. The GCS-REDD+ structure involves policy analysis of 12 countries since 2009 and project analysis of 6 countries with 23 REDD+ project sites across 190 villages and 4,524 households. Key modules examine REDD+ strategies, project sites, monitoring and reference levels, and carbon management at landscape scales. Results are disseminated through publications, trainings, and workshops to influence REDD+ policies, strategies, and practices.
The presentation discussed strategies for results-based management (RBM) of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems for integrated natural resource management projects. It provided an overview of key RBM principles like the results chain and life cycle approach. It also described the status of M&E systems for projects under the MENARID platform, and the MENARID M&E platform itself - an online system for projects to enter indicator data and access reports. Suggestions were made on how projects could make best use of the platform and ensure its long-term sustainability.

This document discusses reporting on the accuracy of GDP statistics in Sweden. It provides an overview of Sweden's quality framework for official statistics, which includes five main quality components: relevance, accuracy, timeliness, accessibility, and coherence. For National Accounts statistics specifically, it notes that annual and quarterly estimates are based on different data sources and methods. It then focuses on describing the accuracy of GDP estimates, noting that the statistical discrepancy between production- and expenditure-side estimates can indicate uncertainty. Key sources of uncertainty like assumptions and measurement are identified as contributing most to overall accuracy. The document concludes that while direct measures of uncertainty are not available, qualitative and quantitative information can still help users evaluate accuracy, and producing a quality declaration brings together different expertise

The 1st OECD Roundtable on Cities and Regions for the SDGs was held at the OECD Headquarters in Paris on 7 March 2019, within the scope of the OECD programme on A Territorial Approach to the SDGs. The Roundtable brought together cities, regions, national governments, international organisations, private sector and other key stakeholders to identify trends and challenges in the localisation of the SDGs, including the experiences and key findings from the pilots of the programme.
The document discusses localizing the SDGs and common trends among cities and regions. It finds that while some local governments are measuring SDG progress and integrating goals into plans, a standardized local indicator framework is still needed. Cities and regions seek to improve governance, engage stakeholders, integrate SDGs into budgeting, and leverage private investment. The localization of SDGs faces challenges around coordination, communication, and using the goals to their full potential for planning.

The Netherlands: National Program Local Heat TransitionOECDregions
The National Program Local Heat Transition (NPLW) consists of two programs - the Program for Accelerating Neighbourhoods (PAW) and the Expertise Center Heat (ECW) - that support municipalities in accelerating the transition to decarbonized heating in the Netherlands. The NPLW aims to help implement around 3,000 neighborhood transition plans by 2030 to insulate or decarbonize 1.5 million homes, as called for in the country's Climate Accord of 2019. It provides knowledge sharing, stimulates regional collaboration, collects monitoring data, and communicates with municipalities and stakeholders to help different communities transition at various speeds.
Decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approachOECDregions
OECD presentation on decarbonising homes in cities in the Netherlands: a neighbourhood approach.
About 90% of homes in the Netherlands depend on natural gas for heating. The Netherlands has made a commitment to phase out natural gas by 2050. To achieve the goal, the Netherlands has rolled out a natural gas-free pilot programme in 66 neighbourhoods. These neighbourhood pilot projects enabled municipalities to learn what it takes to start energy transition. Based on a city survey carried out across 26 local governments, key findings from this report call on national and local governments joining up their efforts to take place-based measures.
Did you know that drowning is a leading cause of unintentional death among young children? According to recent data, children aged 1-4 years are at the highest risk. Let's raise awareness and take steps to prevent these tragic incidents. Supervision, barriers around pools, and learning CPR can make a difference. Stay safe this summer!
PyData London 2024: Mistakes were made (Dr. Rebecca Bilbro)Rebecca Bilbro
To honor ten years of PyData London, join Dr. Rebecca Bilbro as she takes us back in time to reflect on a little over ten years working as a data scientist. One of the many renegade PhDs who joined the fledgling field of data science of the 2010's, Rebecca will share lessons learned the hard way, often from watching data science projects go sideways and learning to fix broken things. Through the lens of these canon events, she'll identify some of the anti-patterns and red flags she's learned to steer around.

- Well-being, Social Justice, Environmental
Quality and Efficiency of Resources,
Efficiency of Economics
3. Set of Indicators for Municipalities -
Bertelsmann Foundation and German
Association of Cities and Towns:
• Includes 47 Indicators
• 17 of these 47 Indicators the City of Bonn
already reports about
• 15 Indicators could be assume to the report, if
there is valid data available
• To 10 Indicators were an evaluation with the
experts necessary
• finished the final modification
5. Modification
• 45 Indicators – existing database
• Comparison new Index SDG-Indicators for
Municipalities (Bertelsmann Foundation
and German Association of Cities and
Towns)
• Adaption of 14 Indicators to complete the
Indicator Framework for the SDGs
• for the new report: 58 Indicators
5
7. Future Work on the SDGs
• current work on the new report (2019)
• involvement of the identified „new“
indicators
• combine indicators: Forest („old“) with
certificated areas („new“)
• all “old” indicators will be labeled with
the effected SDGs (correlations)

8. Key Challenges
• Indicator based reporting - critical
• Correlations within different Indicators
• Influences and Tasks
• Exclude Indicators, which weren´t very
useful
• Develop new Indicators
• A set to compare with other municipalities is
not the goal
• to keep a set of indicators smart and simple
8
10. New Key Challenges
• to combine different systems and structures:
Combination of the sustainability strategy with
the sustainability report and the
visualisation of a SDG-index: from an action-
based strategy to an indicator- based report and
mapping the SDGs in an index
• modification to an overlapping indicator
framework: local, subnational/federal state and
national level
