2
Why does Chile need MRV?
•
Monitor progress of implementation and effectiveness of plans and
national policies
•
Have clarity on what information needs to be developed and presented to
the UNFCCC
•
Manage and report information related to international (financial)
support received in a transparent way
Others:
NC
•
•
•
•
Avoid double counting of emission
Prioritize sectorial efforts
Identify and solve methodological flaws
Identify technical and financial needs

What is Chile doing on MRV
and how?
MRV of Chile’s voluntary commitment
MRV of national GHG emissions and sinks
MRV of other relevant actions
MRV of financial support
MRV of domestic NAMAs

Chile’s voluntary commitment
“En base a este sentido de responsabilidad, quisiera
reafirmar el compromiso voluntario de Chile de
reducir en un 20% sus emisiones proyectadas al 2020,
sujeto a apoyo internacional. ”
Gobierno de Chile | Ministerio del Medio Ambiente

MRV of Chile’s voluntary
commitment
“Chile will take NAMAs to achieve a 20% deviation below the
‘business as usual’ emissions growth trajectory by 2020, as
projected from year 2007. To accomplish this objective Chile will
need a relevant level of international support.
Energy efficiency, renewable energy, and land use, land use
change and forestry measures will be the main focus of Chile’s
nationally appropriate mitigation actions.” (August 2010)

What is Chile doing on MRV
and how?
•
MRV of national GHG emissions and sinks
•
MRV of relevant actions
•
MRV of financial support
• MRV of domestic NAMAs

MRV of domestic NAMAs
•
Climate Change Office in MoE has been developing NAMAs since
October 2010 in main emitting sectors
•
Chile was 1st country to register a NAMA in the UNFCCC Registry
•
Currently, Chile has 5 registered NAMAs and a portfolio with
initiatives in energy efficiency, sustainable construction,
agriculture, etc.
•
Sectorial approach for MRV of NAMAs, but common focus =>
MRV System as a Management System

MRV of domestic NAMAs
• NAMA is achieving its objectives?
Expected impacts, magnitude, timeframe?
• NAMA has un-intended & un-foreseen impacts?
• NAMA needs adjustments? Which ones?
• Institutional arrangements for a national MRV framework
for mitigation actions in Chile (2014) => based strongly on
WRI Policy and Action standard, but country-driven process
and adapted to specific MRV need in Chile

What are the challenges in MRV?
• Working on MRV of co-benefits
• Identify role of private sector in the development of new
NAMAs and the design of its MRV
• Developing a national MRV platform
• Chilean MRV Guidebook for NAMAs (2015)
-minimum standards
-common indicators

Chile’s Carbon Management
Programme: MRV at Facility Level
•
Development of Carbon Management Programme by the Ministry of Environment
from Chile, in the framework of the LECB-Chile project.
•
Aim: foster, organize, support and monitor the quantification and management of
GHG emissions in the public and private sector.
•
Calculation tool allows to quantify and report emissions of corporations, elaborating
a GHG inventory through a web based platform, fulfilling all the requirements of the
ISO 14064 (recently converted into a Chilean standard) through standarized
reporting frameworks.
•
Technical support for participating institutions.
•
Companies are invited to participate on a voluntary and cost-free basis in the pilot
testing phase of the calculation tool and collaborate in the design of incentives and
the implementation of the programme.
