Meetings, Workshops, and Events

This workshop presented key principles and approaches for effective engagement on carbon pricing for both government and business communications. This workshop was highly relevant for intergovernmental and civil society communicators.

This workshop provided an opportunity to discuss possible GHG mitigation instruments suitable for addressing mitigation from the transport sector. Countries and private sector representatives shared experience.

At this event, some of the fastest growing economies shared information on the status of their domestic actions and the role of carbon pricing instruments in pursuing their low carbon development objectives. A panel of representatives from countries and regions that are pursuing domestic ETSs as well as private entity representatives shared their views on challenges and opportunities in using market-based solutions to foster scaled up climate mitigation action.

Chile, China, Costa Rica ,and Mexico received the first allocation of Implementation Phase funding to support work on their MRPs. Peru joined as a new Implementing Country Participant, and the U.S. increased its financial support. The Baseline Working Group also met to advance work on its Baseline Setting Guidance Note.

Finland and Sweden joined as Contributing Participants. The Netherlands and Australia increased their financial support of the PMR. Peru expressed interest in joining as an Implementing Country Participant. Chile, China, Costa Rica, and Mexico became the first countries to present draft MRPs.

This workshop focused on two topics as they relate to policy formation: 1) modeling and analysis tools and 2) data management and reporting tools. Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, the European Commission, Turkey, and the U.S. shared experience.

Marking its first year in operation, the PA allocated Preparation Phase Funding to all 15 of its Implementing Country Participants, following presentations from a final group of countries: Brazil, India, Jordan, South Africa and Vietnam. The PA also finalized criteria for the allocation of Implementation Phase Funding, which will be allocated to countries as they finalize Market Readiness Proposals.

This workshop highlighted key components of GHG baselines. Insights and critiques relevant for a scaled-up crediting mechanism were highlighted.The workshop also included an introduction to GHG registries.

During an extraordinary meeting of the PA, Morocco became an Implementing Country Participant. Importantly, participants also discussed various options for allocating PMR funding in order to agree upon a modality.

The purpose of this workshop was to inform policy makers on key features of ETS and to exchange lessons from existing and proposed ETS.

Brazil, India, Jordan, South Africa, and Vietnam joined the PMR as Implementing Country Participants, bringing the total to 15. The Partnership Assembly endorsed the Market Readiness Proposal (MRP) Tool, which countries will use to formulate their funding proposals. The PA also endorsed a set of criteria for allocating funding.

The purpose of this workshop was to explore technical issues associated with scaled-up crediting mechanisms using examples of concrete mitigation programs from different sectors in developing countries.

At its inaugural meeting, the PA welcomed China, bringing the total number of Implementing Country Participants to nine. All nine received funding to begin work on a Market Readiness Proposal. Morocco also expressed interest to join the PMR.

At the very first gathering of the PMR, 10 countries formally pledged financial support to the initiative becoming the first cohort of Contributing Participants (Australia, the European Commission, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the U.S) and 8 countries were confirmed as Implementing Country Participants (Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Mexico, Thailand, Turkey, and Ukraine). Together these participants endorsed the PMR's Governance Framework and Rules of Procedure.
