Context: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEDC) launched Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches.
About Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches:
- It aims to help improve the global impact of emissions reduction efforts around the world through better data and information sharing, evidence-based mutual learning and inclusive multilateral dialogue.
Objectives of the Forum:
- To take stock of mitigation policy instruments that countries use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and estimate the emissions.
- To develop and apply a consistent methodology to assess the effects of mitigation policies and policy packages on emission reductions at the country level.
- First meeting: Paris, France
- It will help policymakers to showcase and discern good practices and adopt and adapt mitigation policies.
- It will complement other international efforts on climate policy data, including in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Enhanced Transparency Framework.
- 133 countries around the world, representing around 91% of global GDP and covering around 83% of global emissions, have adopted net-zero carbon emissions targets.
