The monitoring, reporting, and verification system for emissions helps determine whether Colombia is making progress toward its climate goals and where improvements are needed. Strengthening it is key to properly tracking mitigation measures in the mining-energy sector, especially in coal. This material explains the relationship between the national and sectoral MRV systems and proposes improvements

The coal sector generates emissions at different stages of its production chain: extraction, post-mining, abandoned mines, transport, industrial use, electricity generation, and coke production. Colombia needs more precise and comparable information to meet its climate commitments and guide better public decisions. This material explains how these emissions are classified, which institutions should monitor them, and
