The first ever authoritative overview of the vitally important task of monitoring, reporting and verifying greenhouse gas emissions at both an industry and a regional/national level. This book is written for practitioners in the private and public sectors involved in designing, implementing and reacting to climate policy regulation.

1. Introduction: key notions and trade-offs involved in MRVing emissions PART Ⅰ. MRV of territorial/jurisdictional emissions 2. Trendsetter for territorial schemes: national GHG inventories under the UNFCCC 3. Variant 1: region/city geographical inventories 4. Variant 2: sectoral MRV at the jurisdictional level - forestry(REDD+) in the VCS and the UNFCCC PART Ⅱ. MRV of industrial sites and entities 5. Trendsetter for companies and industrial sites: the EU Emissions Trading Scheme 6. Variant 1: the waste sector in Australia's Carbon Pricing Mechanism, another ETS at site level 7. Variant 2: non-site level emissions in an ETS - the case of electricity importers in the California cap and trade 8. Variant 3: emissions of a complany/institution rather than a site: the case of te Shenzhen ETS 9. Variant 4: coexistence of voluntary and the mandatory frameworks at the company level - Carbon Disclosure Project, EU ETS and French legal requirements 10. Direct measurement in the EU ETS PART Ⅲ. MRV at offset project scale 11. Trendsetter for projects: the Clean Development Mechanism 12. Case study 1: monitoring requirements for projects reducing N2O emissions from fertilizer use across standards 13. Case study 2: monitoring requirements for reforestation and improved forest management projects across standards 14. Case study 3: monitoring requirements for fugitive emissions from fules in the CDM 15. Synthesis
