| 3. Mitigation Programs and Key Issues for the Consideration for Scaled-up Crediting Mechanisms | ||
The case study from Indonesia highlighted i) the potential and challenges for scaling-up mitigation; ii) the contribution of carbon revenues in the overall financing; and iii) the associated policy and regulatory framework needs as well as institutional considerations. The presentations also discussed issues and options for setting a boundary, baseline, and MRV. |

The case study from Mexico showed how a sustainable development policy aimed at housing can be developed as a mitigation program for a scaled-up crediting mechanism. It has a particular focus on MRV issues associated with many dispersed units and several mitigation technologies, coordination and institutional responsibilities for the program, and financing. |

This presentation explored options for grouping multiple sectors into one mitigation program aimed at enabling action in a sub-national jurisdiction (e.g., a city). It also included different approaches to engage with municipal authorities at the sub-national or national level and the advantages and challenges of addressing multiple sectors in a single program. |
