Monitoring Frameworks for Climate and Energy Targets

The report examines climate governance, targets, monitoring processes, and compliance mechanisms in the UK, EU, Germany, US, Japan, and South Korea. It argues that monitoring frameworks are essential for translating long-term net-zero visions into actionable policies and corrective actions, specifically to support Southeast Asian nations in their energy transitions.

• Monitoring frameworks, which encompass monitoring, reporting, and evaluation processes, are critical for ensuring long-term climate goals are achieved by identifying early changes and allowing for timely policy adjustments.
• The report identifies four key areas of analysis for evaluating national climate efforts: the governance framework, specific climate and energy targets, the processes for monitoring, reporting, and evaluation, and the mechanisms used for compliance.
• The study provides four primary recommendations for policymakers: enshrining climate targets in law, establishing independent bodies for scientific advice, reviewing international best practices, and tailoring monitoring frameworks to the specific national context.
