Abstract
Process-based certification schemes are one way forward in Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) for climate change. A certification scheme for national climate management systems would require countries to establish a climate policy, set national goals and timetables, secure resources to implement related national actions and track their progress, and would support rather than police developing country climate policy progress. Certification can mitigate concerns over intrusion into national sovereignty, but over time it can also have perverse side-effects. This paper examines certification approaches to MRV, and posits a scheme towards clarification of issues for outsiders, without over-simplifying the details for experts.
