Best Practices Guide: Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting, Verification, and Certification of Climate Change Mitigation Projects

摘要

The United State Agency for International Development.s (USAID) Global Center for Environment is sponsoring a series of courses designed to develop technical leadership capacity in energy development and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction that is both friendly to the environment and beneficial to economic growth. Sponsored by the USAID through a contract with the Energy Group of the Institute of International Education (IIE), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) developed the Best Practices Guide: Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting, Verification and Certification of Climate Change Mitigation Projects. This guide is for project developers and evaluators involved with the measurement of GHG emissions from government, non-profit organizations, power companies, financial institutions, consultants and universities. This guide provides an overview of the key issues involved in the monitoring, evaluation, reporting, verification and certification (MERVC) of climate change mitigation projects.
