Info

Reporting The R or reporting component of the MRV system constitutes its heart and soul. Basically, it defines the WHAT FOR of the WHAT (the M). The R allows us to translate the information the M component has generated into meaningful, tangible information for decision making. The deliverables defined for R (the specific questions that need to be answered while reporting) and the standards it needs to comply with define the objectives and design of M component. These questions do not only include how much CO2 has been emitted, sequestered or avoided to be emitted. It takes care of finding the true meaning of those quantities in terms of management objectives. Source: REDD+ Community Glossary Scenario A plausible and often simplified description of how the future may develop based on a coherent and internally consistent set of assumptions about driving forces and key relationships. Scenarios may be derived from projections, but are often based on additional information from other sources, sometimes combined with a ‘narrative storyline’. See also climate (change) scenario and emissions scenario. Sea-level rise An increase in the mean level of the ocean. Eustatic sea-level rise is a change in global average sea level brought about by an increase in the volume of the world ocean. Relative sea-level rise occurs where there is a local increase in the level of the ocean relative to the land, which might be due to ocean rise and/or land level subsidence. In areas subject to rapid land-level uplift, relative sea level can fall. WWF FOREST AND CLIMATE INITIATIVE Tree line The upper limit of tree growth in mountains or high latitudes. It is more elevated or more poleward than the forest line. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) The Convention was adopted on 9 May 1992, in New York, and signed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro by more than 150 countries and the European Community. Its ultimate objective is the “stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”. It contains commitments for all parties to the convention. Verification The Verification component of the MRV system is the one supposed to bring transparency and validation to the information generated by the M and the R components. There are various ways to look at it. The first one is the concept of “power to the people” idea. It refers to the possibility MRV systems should give to any stakeholder of having access to the data and having the opportunity of validating it by scrutiny of methods and procedures as well as actual results reported on the ground. It commonly represents the link with participatory MRV in which communities and stakeholders are able to input, analyze and verify data into the MRV system. This could be done by mechanisms that are intrinsic to the MRV system or, by the use of third-party individuals, facilitators, systems or even certifiers as is the case with forestry practices.
