标准已经用于评估20个国家 /地区的32个政策或目标

现在，政府首次采用一致，可靠的方法来解释其气候政策和目标中减少温室气体（GHG）。必威官网是真的吗

今天，温室气体协议(GHG Protocol) launched two new standards to help governments design better policies and emissions reductions goals, and measure progress against them. Developed by必威官网手机版(WRI), the缓解目标标准and政策和行动标准将使政策制定者和分析师能够设定强大的缓解目标，改善政策并跟踪进度以实现气候目标。必威官网是真的吗

“新的温室气体协议缓解目标标准可以在利马的国际气候谈判中加强透明度，一直到巴黎。”必威官网是真的吗詹妮弗·摩根, Director, Climate and Energy Program, WRI. “For too many years we have been comparing apples to oranges without a consistent way of setting climate goals and measuring progress. This standard lifts the veil of uncertainty that has shrouded countries’ climate targets for too long.”

Currently under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) countries use different approaches with varying assumptions and methodologies, which makes it challenging to ascertain the effectiveness of efforts to curb emissions globally. The缓解目标标准通过提供通过国际利益相关者流程开发的标准化方法来解决这个问题，并在几个司法管辖区进行试验。

这缓解目标标准establishes robust and transparent emissions accounting and reporting practices for governments to track progress toward reaching their overarching reduction target, shape their post-2020 climate goals and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches.

“我们非常感谢世界资源研究所在制定这些标准方面必威官网手机版的领导才能。”Katia Simeonova，联合国气候变化秘书处缓解，数据和分析计划的经理。必威官网是真的吗“他们可以帮助推进国家和地区政府的强大气候行动，并可以在20必威官网是真的吗15年巴黎气候峰会及以后的联合国通讯过程中发挥有益的作用。”

这政策和行动标准有助于估计政策和行动的温室气体影响，以提高其在减少排放方面的有效性。来自国家和地方政府的分析师可以评估特定政策的温室气体影响以及一些社会经济和环境影响，以告知在哪里转移资源以取得最佳结果。

“随着气候变化的成本越来越多，政策按预必威官网是真的吗期进行排放更为重要。”Pankaj Bhatia, Director, GHG Protocol, WRI. “The Policy and Action Standard can now help governments at all levels determine if their actions are effective and respond accordingly.”

Over 270 participants—government leaders, NGOs representatives and academics – from 40 countries were involved in developing the two new standards. Both standards are applicable to national, city and other subnational governments. Already they have been used to assess a total of 32 policies or goals in 20 countries, including:

  • 这United Kingdom Climate Change Committee used the Mitigation Goal Standard to report on the design of the Climate Change Act of 2008. The assessment helped show the advantages of setting greenhouse gas reduction goals spanning multiple years versus a single year. Multi-year goals are preferable because they are designed to limit cumulative emissions over several years and can allow some flexibility year-to-year.

  • In 2005, the City of Seattle in the United States adopted a goal to cut emissions 7 percent below 1990 levels by 2012. The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) used the Mitigation Goal Standard to determine if Seattle reached the goal in time and found that in 2012 Seattle exceeded its allowable emissions by 0.34 Mt CO2e, thus not reaching its target.

  • 突尼斯于2010年推出了可再生能源支持计划Prosol Elec，以促进和支持在住宅和商业建筑中使用太阳能光伏（PV）系统。突尼斯国家能源对话机构（ANME）使用政策和行动标准来估算该计划的预期未来排放减少。ANME估计该计划将在2014年至2030年间避免400万吨CO2。

  • 这German Renewable Energy Act, which came into force in 2000, has advanced renewable electricity generation in Germany by establishing policies that give renewable energy preferential access to the power grid over fossil fuels and nuclear energy. The research institute Öko-Institut used the Policy and Action Standard to estimate the future impact of the policy. The institute found that the policy is expected to avoid 100 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 annually in 2020, 120 Mt annually in 2030, and 150 Mt annually in 2040.

WRI目前正在全球组织一系列区域研讨会，以教育决策者就标准进行教育，并在2015年12月在巴黎气候谈判之前塑造国家贡献。必威官网是真的吗
