Fiji’s ability to streamline transport sector data for GHG accounting and reporting in national communications and the NDC’s, has recently been completed through the development of MRV systems in the Transport Sector.
The activity which was led by the Regional Pacific NDC’s implementing partner Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) was completed this year after identifying the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of land transport data as part of the national GHG inventory and reporting. scope of data required across mitigation, adaptation, finance and other areas to track NDC implementation.
Noting that climate action is cross sectoral, the challenge was to encourage relevant agencies to adapt MRV systems, while maintaining oversight of the quality and comparability of information provided on the results achieved.
The work objectives included:
- Establishing a system that collates information on mitigation and adaptation actions, GHG emissions and climate finance in an integrated way to provide insights into the individual and collective impacts of the measures taken in the Transport sector.
- Contributing towards enhancing analytical capacity and understanding about which policies and actions work best and why.
- Supporting the mainstreaming of NDC implementation and consideration into the transport divisions operational plans and strategies and to become an eminent part of the Divisions mandate.
- Improving evidence base for the transport sector and enhance institutional capability to monitor and track Fiji’s progress in transitioning to a low carbon and sustainable economy.
- Building the capacity of the institution to analyse, develop and implement climate policy and coordinate actions around NDCs and drive their implementation.
