Monitoring Frameworks for Climate and Energy Targets

This report by the NewClimate Institute, published under the CASE project, analyzes monitoring frameworks for climate and energy targets in six developed economies to provide guidance for Southeast Asian countries pursuing carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions by 2050.

• Monitoring frameworks, which encompass monitoring, reporting, and evaluation processes, are essential for meeting long-term climate goals because they allow governments to detect early changes and make timely, targeted policy adjustments.
• The report addresses a lack of comprehensive studies on good-practice monitoring frameworks by analyzing the climate governance, targets, monitoring processes, and compliance mechanisms of the UK, the EU, Germany, the US, Japan, and South Korea.
• The report provides four specific recommendations for policymakers: enshrining climate targets in law to provide a legal basis, establishing independent bodies for impartial scientific advice, reviewing international practices for setting and achieving targets, and tailoring monitoring frameworks to the specific national context.
