Recommendations For Accounting for Mitigation Components of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Under the Paris Agreement

This research paper by the World Resources Institute (WRI) provides recommendations for developing accounting guidance for the mitigation components of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, intended to fill the gap in comprehensive guidance from the UNFCCC.

• The paper's recommendations are based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Mitigation Goal Standard, which was created by the World Resources Institute (WRI) via a multistakeholder process and built upon existing guidance from the Kyoto Protocol and the Convention.
• The document was created to offer guidance on accounting for mitigation targets because comprehensive guidance from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is currently lacking.
• The paper aims to provide recommendations for accounting guidance applicable to various mitigation components in the NDCs of Parties, specifically outlining necessary decisions and approaches for accounting and reporting.
