How will cCCR address the verification process?
While acknowledging that any reporting process shall be equipped with a verification procedure, the initial goal of cCCR is to facilitate and encourage measurement and reporting of local climate actions through a harmonized approach. The design of the most appropriate verification system for a global reporting mechanism of local governments sometime is undergoing further development, particularly with regard to local government relations with national climate processes. It is also worth noting that the global verification processes (which is often called “international consultation and analysis”) is one of most controversial agenda items of the climate negotiations at the UN level.
