The national GHG inventory project aims at developing a framework for compiling GHG inventories, data collection, data sharing, data reporting and institutional arrangements, according to the UNFCCC guidelines and Paris Agreement.<br \/>\nThe two-day workshop and training has been organized by Global Change Impact Studies Centre (GCISC), and CITEPA, with support from GIZ Pakistan and NDC Partnership.<br \/>\nMr. Arif Goheer (Head of Agriculture and Coordinator -GCISC) said that as per Paris Agreement, all countries are required to produce reliable, transparent and comprehensive information on GHG emissions, climate actions and support under the Enhanced Transparency Framework. He explained that the new international adopted framework will enable the implementation of mitigation, adaptation and support actions as well as their monitoring over time. This monitoring will be reported on a regular basis as part of the BTR (Biennial Transparency Report) which will replace the BUR (Biennial Updated report) by 2025.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2431 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/pakistan\/naheed-s-durrani-says-climate-change-adaptation-is-critical-for-pakistan\/attachment\/2-2\/'><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"852\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2.avif 1280w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2-300x200.avif 300w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2-768x511.avif 768w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2-1024x682.avif 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>In this context, the inventory of GHG emissions as well as the action monitoring indicators are essential for the monitoring and confidence of the international community. In this context the national GHG inventory project which aims at developing a framework for compiling the GHG inventories on regular basis is carried out at GCISC. He further explained the importance of developing the adaptation tracking mechanism, which will not only aid in the national climate change adaptation planning process but also will support in preparing the Adaptation Communication (ADCOM) for UNFCCC.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2434 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1270\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3.jpg 1270w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-768x774.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-1016x1024.jpg 1016w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3.avif 1270w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-150x150.avif 150w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-298x300.avif 298w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-768x774.avif 768w, https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/3-1016x1024.avif 1016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1270px) 100vw, 1270px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The participants also discussed the recently developed IT platform for GHG Mitigation, which is functional and is housed at GCISC. The IT platform has been developed with cooperation from CITEPA and GIZ. The aim of the platform is to track and manage climate change sectoral data. This has been developed under the Enhanced Transparency Framework, under the Paris Agreement, where all countries are required to produce reliable, transparent and comprehensive information on GHG emissions.<br \/>\nThe IT system will enable Pakistan to track climate change actions, for transparent reporting for better coordination and communication with local and national agencies said by Mr. Irfan Tariq, DG, MOCC.<br \/>\nMr. Baptiste Charte, Climate change coordinator of GIZ-Pakistan said that developed MRV framework will not only facilitate in international reporting but also will ensure the international financial support to Pakistan on climate change actions.<br \/>\nThe purpose of day-one of training was to introduce and launch the Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) System for GHG inventories and to get inputs from the key stakeholders for the development of M&amp; E System for Adaptation Tracking in the Agriculture Sector.<br \/>\nThe importance of climate change adaptation, stating that adaptation is a critical concern for developing countries and in particular for Pakistan owing to the fragility of its ecosystems and its vulnerability to the impacts of climate change.
