COP22 side event: Improving MRV for agricultural emission reductions in the livestock sector
To accelerate implementation of the Paris Agreement, we will facilitate a science-policy dialogue on monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) to detect mitigation impacts in livestock production systems. Country experiences will be shared to identify practical innovations for the collection and coordination of activity data and improved emission factors.
