Objectives

The MRV LULUCF Expert will be responsible for supporting the Sectoral Ministries in specific sectoral challenges regarding of MRV, in key themes for Brazil, such as land use change, land use (including pasture restoration). This work will be conducted under the daily coordination of the Plano Clima Senior Technical Coordinator, following general guidance from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, as well as UNEP.

As a result of the elaboration of the MRV framework for the Brazilian National Climate Plan, it is expected that it allows the government to monitor GHG emissions reduction from the implementation plans transparently and demonstrate trajectory towards the targets defined. The improved MRV can also help the identification of data gaps and adjustments needed on a more granular level, in a format consistent to the recent Modalities, Procedures and Guidelines (MPG) of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), under the Paris Agreement.
